Thermomechanical and electromagnetic analyses on a superconducting demonstrator magnet for Hadron Therapy

The work of this thesis consists in the structural and electromagnetic analysis of a superconducting demonstrator magnet for the project GaToroid at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). The magnet is the result of the joint efforts of the Mechanical Engineering (EN-MME-EDS) and Technology (TE-MSC-MDT) departments of CERN. Its purpose is to validate models and technologies currently available for the realization of a novel gantry for hadron therapy. This thesis traces the development phases of the magnet and presents its consequent responses in terms of stress state and field map. The outcome is a multiphysics numerical model that will be soon compared to experimental evidence for validation.
