Advanced Conductor Technologies is developing high-temperature superconducting Conductor on Round Core (CORC®) cables and wires wound from REBCO coated conductors for use in high-field magnets. Magnet applications on which the conductor development is focused on include compact fusion magnets that operate at currents between 50 and 100 kA at fields of 12 – 20 T and accelerator magnets that...
ReBCO-CORC is a versatile and unique multi-tape round conductor, developed for application in magnets, bus-bars and links to operate at elevated temperatures like 30 to 50 K, as well as for application in high-field magnets operating at 4.5 K. Experiments on CORC conductors and their application have been performed by many institutes from all around the globe. In combination with technological...
Roebel cables from coated conductors were already tested in first real applications, recently in first sub-size demonstrator dipole insert magnets for particle accelerators, an activity from the EU-project EUcard2 coordinated by CERN. The Roebel HTS approach offers unique properties for magnet applications, such as low AC losses from transposed strands, excellent off-plane bending ability and...
YBCO coated conductors are being considered for use in high-field magnets for future particle accelerators, as they allow the development of very high field dipoles and quadrupoles. However, the field quality of these magnets, critical for beam steering and control, is well known to be influenced by conductor persistent currents, or magnetization. Some estimates of how coated conductors might...
