Superconducting materials for the SSC

Description

The proposed Superconducting Supercollider presents several new challenges with regard to materials for dipole magnets. One design requires a NbTi superconductor with J/sub c/ (5T) greater than 2400 A/mm2, whereas the Tevatron recently completed at Fermilab required a J/sub c/ (5T) greater than or equal to 1800 A/mm2. In addition, the high field design requires a conductor with a filament diameter of about 2.5 μm, if correction coils are to be eliminated. Finally, the high field design utilizes a 30-strand cable which again is a significant increase from the 23-strand cable used in the Tevatron. This paper describes the results of recent R and D programs aimed at meeting the stringent material requirements for the SSC
