Description
The electrical insulation of superconducting cables poses the largest
heat barrier between the heat exchanger and the cable for accelerator
magnets.
This issue is of major importance for current accelerator magnets and
undoubtedly will become a critical issue for magnets subjected to a
higher heat deposition. We will first present a review of heat
transfer studies on the LHC cable insulations in liquid helium
pursued by CEA Saclay and by KEK, focusing on the key parameters
involved in such heat transfer process. This will be followed by the
overview of the NED program on heat transfer in light of these works.
