Abstract :
A system is described which allows the main series current in the ring magnets to automatically bypass a quenching unit. The method employs the switching capabilities inherent in silicon diodes operating at very low temperatures. Experimentally determined parameters are given for a high current diode suitable for use in superconducting accelerators and storage rings.
