Modal analysis of AC quadrupole magnet system for CSNS/RCS

The quadrupole magnet of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Rapid-cycling Synchrotron (RCS) is operated at a 25 Hz sinusoidal alternating current which causes severe vibration. The vibration will influence the long-term safety and reliable operation of the quadrupole magnet. By taking the quadrupole magnet and girder as specific model system, a method for analyzing and studying the dynamic characteristic of the system is put forward by combining theoretical calculation with experimental testing. The theoretical modal analysis results coincide with the experimental testing results. It shows that the dynamic characteristic parameters of the structure can be obtained by modal analysis which will provide a theoretical basis for the further study and the magnet girder optimal design of CSNS/RCS.
