REBCO WG meeting

Thursday 27 Jan 2022, 11:00 → 12:40 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? 

1 Update on magnet status

• subscale common coil
• COMB
• c3

• Subscale common coil: Zach sent out the final design and calls for a review. Will need input on the instrumentation.
• COMB: plan on the fabrication of the mandrel to test the CORC wire. The mandrel is expected to use the same material as the final magnet mandrel. 
• C3: expect to resume the work next week after a key member completes the COVID quarantine. Will start with the mechanical assembly first.
• Collaboration meeting
  • Focus on the issues, concerns, and possible solutions, in addition to technical progress. 
  • Propose adjustment of the milestone if needed. 
  • Aim for more discussion and brainstorm.
  • Consider adding the recent European strategy to the context.
