REBCO WG meeting

Thursday 21 Jan 2021, 11:00 → 12:20 US/Pacific

Anis Ben Yahia (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Ernesto Bosque (NHMFL), Paolo Ferracin, Ramesh Gupta (BNL), Reed Teyber (LBNL), 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 → 11:30 Subscale CORC common coil instrumentation plan

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

11:30 → 11:50 Plan for the Collaboration Meeting

1. 5' -  10' overview of roadmap and milestone list from the latest MDP plan
2. 10' + 5' (presentation + Q/A) for each lab, emphasizing cross connections, what we learned or can learn from each other. 
   1. Status summary
   2. Progress towards the milestones
   3. Revised milestone/schedule
   4. Issues and plans
   5. Conductor needs (including an 8 T magnet design?)
3. 45' (or more) summary and general discussion
   1. Progress towards the milestones
   2. Issues and plans: anything we can work together? 
   3. Propose a revised milestone/schedule with justification
   4. Conductor needs

- Leave more time for general discussions

- Issues and needs: Need more cables for bending study.  Perhaps more important to have REBCO tapes in stock by MDP so that ACT can provide the cable.
