Superconducting magnets

Description
Development of 1-meter-long model magnets continued in 1984. Prototypes with 50-mm bores reached new record fields for accelerator-type magnets: 9.1 T for Nb-Ti-wound models and 8.1 T for Nb3Sn (at 1.8 and 4.4 K, respectively). Increasing attention, however, turned to SSC-related activities. We continued to develop our proposed 6.5-T design by successfully testing four 1-meter models to the design field strength. In a related effort, a team led by LBL demonstrated significant improvements in attainable critical current densities for Nb-Ti; at 5 T the SSC specification of 2400 A/mm2 was readily exceeded. Along similar lines, superconducting cable development was highlighted by construction of a cabling machine that provides great flexibility in cable parameter selection and by investigations of unconventional cable configurations
