REBCO WG meeting

Thursday 9 Sept 2021, 11:00 → 12:20 US/Pacific

• 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? What is the field quality? 
• Does the magnet performance degrade, e.g., during operation, after thermal cycles? If so, how can we prevent it?  
• How can we characterize the performance for long conductors? 

11:00 → 11:45 Status update

• Subscale common coil
• COMB
• CCT

Speakers: Anis Ben Yahia (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Maxim Martchevskii, Ramesh Gupta (BNL), Reed Teyber (LBNL), Vadim Kashikhin (Fermilab), Vito Lombardo (Fermilab), Xiaorong Wang (LBNL)

• Subscale common coil: Receive the parts from ACT next week. Test winding at BNL using a winding machine. 
• COMB: FNAL received the sample from ACT. The sample was lubricated and wound on a COMB structure. FNAL will test its performance at 77 K in the coming weeks.
• CCT: getting quotes for mandrels. Fabricate mandrels once the funding is available. Install terminations on CORC wires to continue the impregnation study. 
• Also discussed if we can move faster. Let's keep thinking about this and move faster.
