Description
A brief overview will be given of the possibilities of modelling
stability in superconducting NbTi cables. It will be shown that in
many cases the accuracy of the modelling is poor (due to limited
knowledge on cooling and current redistribution phenomena), so that
additional experiments are needed. In the coming years, such
experiments will be performed in the CERN cable test facility FRESCA
under conditions comparable to LHC operation. The set-up of these
stability measurements will be presented as well as the type of
results that can be expected.
