REBCO WG meeting

Thursday 29 Oct 2020, 11:00 → 12:00 US/Pacific

Anis Ben Yahia (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Ernesto Bosque (NHMFL), Paolo Ferracin, 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?

1. BNL:
   1. BNL is completing the mechanical design of subscale common coil. It is expected to complete this by 12/10 (six weeks from now). We will meet again when the design is ready. 
   2. Let's start working on the instrumentation and test plan. Connect Reed and Ramesh to understand if an Hall-array sensor can be used during the test.

2. FNAL:
   1. Successfully completed nitrogen Ic test of two CORC samples. 
   2. Will proceed to test winding of COMB structure using dummy wires.

3. LBNL:
   1. Start preparing for the potting test of CORC wires. Plan to pot the first sample in November 2020.

4. Design study of the next magnet beyond 5 T:
   1. Complete the design study by April 2021
   2. Present preliminary magnetic designs at the next MDP CM around February/March 2021.
