Description

A.c. losses for a practical bronze-processed Nb3Sn multifilamentary composite were measured over a wide range of amplitudes (0<=Bsub(m)<=14 T, 0<= Bsub(dc) <= 10 T) in transverse magnetic field with trapezoidal wave forms. The composite had a Nb or Ta barrier for protecting the Cu stabilizer from Sn diffusion. The observed results were analysed theoretically and a quantitative agreement was obtained over the whole measured range of amplitudes in both types of samples with Nb and Ta barriers. (author)
