Open-loop Magneto-resistance Sensor-Based DC Current Transformer for FAIR — Eman Soliman1, Klaus Hofmann1, Hansjörg Reeg2, and •Marcus Schwickert2 — 1Technical University Darmstadt, Germany — 2GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt, Germany
A Novel DC Current Transformer (N-DCCT) is currently under development for FAIR. The N-DCCT is going to be installed inside the SIS100 synchrotron. The proposed system is no longer based on magnetic modulation principle of the conventional DCCT. Instead, a Magneto-resistance sensor is utilized to detect the magnetic field of the ion-beam. For a first prototype the N-DCCT is realized as an open-loop system. It consists of a high permeability slotted ring core and up to two MR sensors. The maximum ion-beam current magnetic field is concentrated inside the ring core air gaps. MR sensors are placed inside the core air gaps. The sensor output voltage is directly proportional to the ion-beam current. The system is implemented using commercial Tunneling MR sensors. Measurements using one single sensor, as well as the application of two sensors are presented in this work. The sensitivity of the proposed N-DCCT is 0.566 [V/A] for one single MR sensor and 1.56 [V/A] when two sensors are implemented.
