38. AntiCoincidence detector for ATHENA X-IFU

Lorenzo Ferrari Barusso (Unige - INFN)

Transition edge sensors (TES) play a key role in current projects of future X-rays space
telescopes as are foreseen as detectors for the focal plane instrument. In order to full exploit
their sensitivity in the space environment, they need an active cryogenic anticoincidence
detector (CryoAC) to reject the background due to cosmic charged particles. As signal given by
the interaction of...

31. State of the art of Bi2212 PIT wires made with GDG process

Andrea Traverso (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

The first step towards high critical currents in Bi-2212 wires was the comprehension that the supercurrent is blocked over long lengths by filament-diameter bubbles growing from the porosity of the powders during the partial melting phase. The Over Pressure (OP) process led to the realization of dense Bi-2212 wires with a $J_E$ performance far beyond the minimum application requirements, but...

29. A Study of the Effect of a Strand Breakage on the Operating Margin of a Nb3Sn Cable

Mr Giovanni Succi (CERN)

09/10/2020, 12:00

Current and temperature distribution and re-distribution phenomena in multi-strand superconducting cables are a topic of research since the beginning of this technology, and can be of major relevance for the operating margin and performance of accelerator magnets. My work at the MSC Group at CERN is based on the problem of current distribution in a Nb3Sn Rutherford cable subjected to a local...

42. Synthesis and study of Tl-1223 Superconducting Thin Films for the Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh) Beam Screen

The properties of thallium based superconductors are under exploration for the potential coating of the beam screen of the future circular collider (FCC). The FCC’s (100 km in circumference) study revolves around achieving 100 T-eV center-of-mass energy through the collision of beams (steered by 16 T magnetic field produced by superconducting magnets). One of the most important tasks is beam...
