Description
I will first show the validation of the simulations, based on experimental data from three RQ joint samples, tested in FRESCA in the previous months, and containing different stabilizer defects.
Then I will present updated plots for the simulated safe machine current versus joint defect size, both for the RB and RQ circuits, focusing on 7 TeV operation. Finally I will discuss if qualification of the splices by means of an electrical measurement at room temperature is sufficient to predict its performance at cold.
