MgB2 wires have been commercially available and developed its superconducting characteristics continuously in the last decade. This attracts researchers especially in the field of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) coil applications in terms of its relatively high critical temperature, which enables us to use liquid hydrogen for cooling the coils. The MgB2 wires are sensitive to...
Rutherford cables for particle accelerator magnets can be subjected to time-varying magnetic fields during the typical accelerator operating cycle, which in turn induce coupling currents flowing in the loops formed at the contacts between different strands. A proper analysis of the losses generated by these currents must be carried out for the design of the cryogenic system.
The models...
