This course is mainly addressed to Students and Early Career Researchers. Regular participants are also welcome to join until the auditorium reaches its maximum capacity.
Description:
The course highlights the synergetic relationship between advancements in material property understanding and progress in conductor technology, with a particular emphasis on high-field magnet applications. It is structured in two parts:
High Temperature Superconductors: From Materials to Magnets
This course explores the current state and future prospects of REBCO-coated conductor technology. After three decades of intensive development, REBCO is now available in long-length composite conductors with high critical current densities, achieving performance in magnetic fields and temperatures that far exceed the capabilities of Nb-Ti and Nb3Sn.
