Abstract :
A quench velocity expression which has a divergent behavior close to the critical current density is reported. This quench velocity has the same behavior as that revealed in quench velocity measurements made on the 17-m-long, 4-cm-aperture SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) R&D dipole magnets, which show a clear departure from the expected theoretical adiabatic expression.<>
