Cyrogenic aspects of the internally cooled, cabled superconductor (ICCS) for the 12-TESLA program

  • 1. MIT, Cambridge, MA

Description

The contribution of the ICCS/HFTF Test Coil program is described in terms of the understanding of supercritical helium thermodynamics in relation to ICCS stability. The helium pump module appears satisfactory for use in conjunction with the ICCS/HFTF Test Coil. High field tests of Airco Nb3Sn superconducting cables, encapsulated in stainless steel sheaths, show only slight reductions in critical current density from those of single wires. Magnetic pulse penetration of the sheath to produce detectable normal zones has also been demonstrated. Cryogenically compatible sheaths have been fabricated on a production basis. Prototypical terminations for the ICCS/HFTF Test Coil have been fabricated and should be tested shortly
