Abstract
We report results of experiments correlating acoustic emission (AE) data to the presence of normal zones in epoxy-impregnated windings. The results suggest the feasibility of using AE sensors to determine whether or not a superconducting magnet has been driven normal after a rapid discharge. This AE diagnostic technique may be particularly valuable in application to pulse magnets.Keywords
