Muon colliders offer a transformative opportunity in high-energy physics, enabling precision measurements and groundbreaking discoveries at the energy frontier. Their compact design and ability to achieve extremely high center-of-mass energies make them a promising alternative to traditional colliders. However, realizing such machines presents several significant technical challenges,...
High-magnetic fields of up to 20 T in coils in tokamak-type fusion devices, such as in the Central Solenoid of European DEMO and the Chinese BEST, require use of High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS) and promising candidates are high-current cables comprising ReBCO tape. The large Lorentz force occurring under these operating conditions can locally generate very high values of mechanical...
Accurate prediction of mechanical stress within high-field superconducting magnets is crucial for ensuring their structural integrity and operational reliability. Friction between turns plays a significant role in load transfer and stress distribution within the magnet winding. However, limited experimental data, especially at cryogenic temperatures, hinders precise modeling and design. This...
Transverse resistance among adjacent conductors is a key parameter to
calculate AC losses in superconducting cables with non-insulated
conductors. The transverse pressure insert (TPI) previously developed
and used at Fermilab was modified to measure transverse resistance of
stacks made of non-insulated REBCO tapes as a function of transverse
pressure at liquid nitrogen temperature....
