Session I: HTS magnet design and mechanics
- Zhenan Jiang (Victoria University of Wellington)
The future particle physics experiment will require a 20 T-class high field magnet operated under radiation environment more than 200 MGy. High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) has been performing basic development studies of the radiation-resistant high field magnet using REBCO coted conductors. A goal of this research program is an experimental proof of the small-scale magnet...
We are studying the use of REBCO High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) tape as the superconductor for the Toroidal Field (TF) magnets for a highly compact, high field fusion reactor. Very high operating currents are desirable for use in this application due to the large volumes and very high stored magnetic energy. We envision using stacked tapes of REBCO cooled by forced flow of cryogenic...
Placing of tapes in helical manner on a round core represents one of possible ways to accomplish high-current cables from the 2nd generation of high-temperature conductors. We follow the concept similar to that of the Conductor On Round Core (CORC) however with a metallic tube utilized as the core allowing a coolant to flow through the central channel of such Conductor On Round Tube (CORT).
We...
Advanced Conductor Technologies has been developing Conductor on Round Core (CORC®) cables and wires wound from REBCO coated conductors for use in high-field magnets. An overview of the current status of the CORC® cables and wires will be presented, including details about the application of CORC® cables and wires in different types of magnets. Large magnets for fusion require multiple CORC®...
