Abstract
The Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX) at Princeton will be the first to kamak with an all superconducting poloidal field (PF) magnet system. T he conductors are all cable-in-conduit (CICC) superconductors with a s ingle conduit, similar to those in the International Thermonuclear Exp erimental Reactor (ITER). 10 of the PE coils use Nb3Sn superconductor while 4 of them use NbTi. High noise initiation and disruptions demand the use of an advanced quench detection system.
