Abstract :
The energy stored in a superconducting (SC) accelerator magnet is usually dissipated after a quench in the normal zones of the coil, heating the coils and producing a voltage drop between the turns inside the magnet and between coil and ground. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the quench protection problem for a high gradient quadrupole for the LHC interaction regions.
