REBCO WG meeting #6

Thursday 4 Jun 2020, 11:00 → 12:00 US/Pacific

Anis Ben Yahia (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Ernesto Bosque (NHMFL), Ramesh Gupta (BNL), Stephen Gourlay (LBNL), Vadim Kashikhin (Fermilab), Vito Lombardo (Fermilab), Xiaorong Wang (LBNL)

• What performances and parameters should the conductor have? How can we make magnets using these conductors? 
• What is the maximum dipole field a REBCO magnet can generate?  
• What is the magnet performance? How does it quench? How to protect the magnet during a quench? What is the field quality? 
• How can we characterize the performance for long conductors? 

11:00 → 11:10 Followup and update

Speakers: Anis Ben Yahia (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Ernesto Bosque (NHMFL), Ramesh Gupta (BNL), Stephen Gourlay (LBNL), Vadim Kashikhin (Fermilab), Vito Lombardo (Fermilab), Xiaorong Wang (LBNL)

• Feedback from the hybrid design WG: how to boost the current of REBCO wires to be compatible with Nb₃Sn outsert magnets and to allow one power supply? 
  • For both wires, we may consider including multiple wires to form one conductor to boost the current.
• On the other hand, for the actual hybrid test, in particular at the early stage of development and test, it would be useful to power the insert with a dedicated power supply. Is it possible to synchronize the power supplies for both insert and outsert such that it can be equivalent to the one-power supply scenario?

 

• REBCO testing effort is planned to be resumed. 

11:10 → 11:40 CORC CCT C2b test results
