Abstract Iron-based superconductors (IBSs), discovered in 2008, formed the second high-T c
superconductor family after cuprate superconductors, and over the past decade have been …

Long lengths of metal/MgB 2 composite conductors with high critical current density (J c),
fabricated by the powder-in-tube process, have recently become commercially available …

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is being prepared for its full energy exploitation
during run III, ie, an increase of the beam energy beyond the present 6.5 TeV, targeting the …

The investigation of quenching in low temperature superconducting wires is of great
relevance for a proper design of superconductive cables and magnets. This paper reports …

The ITER machine will require approximately 275 tons of Nb− Ti strands that will be used in
poloidal field (PF) coils, correction coils (CC) and feeder busbars. The performance of all …

The commissioning and the exploitation of the LHC require a good knowledge of the stability
margins of the superconducting magnets with respect to beam induced heat depositions …

The development of coils that can survive a quench is crucial for demonstrating the viability
of MgB 2-based main magnet coils used in MRI systems. Here we have studied the …

The electron-ion collider JLEIC requires 3-T arc dipoles with large aperture and
homogeneous field suitable for long beam life for all field levels from injection to maximum …

An experimental setup is operational at the Central Cryogenics Laboratory of the European
Organization for Nuclear Research to measure the cooling mechanisms of superfluid 4 He …

Quench protection is used to ensure the safety of superconducting magnets. Only by
understanding the quench characteristics of superconducting materials profoundly can we …
