Taking the relay of the large Hadron collider (LHC) at CERN, ITER has become the largest
project in applied superconductivity. In addition to its technical complexity, ITER is also a …

The ITER magnet coils are wound from Cable-In-Conduit Conductors (CICC) made up of
superconducting and copper strands assembled into a multistage, rope-type cable inserted …

The ITER central solenoid (CS) must be capable of driving inductively 30 000 15 MA plasma
pulses with a burn duration of 400 s. This implies that during the lifetime of the machine, the …

Enhancing the beam energy of particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at
CERN, can increase our probability of finding new fundamental particles of matter beyond …

Abstract Cables made with Nb 3 Sn-based superconductor strands will provide the 13 T
maximum peak magnetic field of the ITER central solenoid (CS) coils and they must survive …

We have developed a high-performance (high-J C) Nb 3 Sn wire via a distributed tin (DT)
method. Non-Cu JC of 1100 A/mm 2 at 16 T, 4.2 K has been achieved by improving the Sn …

Powder metallurgy process is one of the common methods for synthesizing superconducting
phases and preparing superconducting wires, in which the initial particle size of the powder …

The concept of a bending wavelength has been proposed in the description of strand
deformation phenomena arising from electromagnetic loads, in cable-in-conduit conductor …

Abstract The performance of Nb 3 Sn cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) especially its
current sharing temperature (T cs) is known to depend on the various parameters of the …

The performance of two conductors for the ITER central solenoids was tested. The current
sharing temperatures were measured over 17 050 electromagnetic cycles, including four …
