Abstract :
Quench propagation velocities and conductor hot spot temperatures have been studied during the testing of RHIC superconducting dipole magnets. These studies were facilitated by artificially inducing quenches with spot heaters. The results of these tests are presented here and are compared with adiabatic model calculations
