In the framework of High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project, 11 T dipole and MQXF quadrupole magnets employing Nb <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> Sn technology have been tested in short long test configurations. are more sensitive than Nb-Ti to a potential degradation their conductors during production, testing, cycling operation. At CERN, new diagnostic tools measurement procedures developed investigate,...
Cryogenic helium-4 has extremely small kinetic viscosity, which makes it a promising material for high Reynolds (Re) number turbulence research in compact laboratory apparatus. In its superfluid phase (He II), helium an extraordinary heat transfer capability and been utilized various scientific engineering applications. order to unlock the full potential of improve our understanding mechanism He II, flow facility that allows quantitative study heat-and-mass processes is needed. Here, we...
The magnetic modelling and experimental validation of a superconducting degaussing system for maritime vessels is discussed. Degaussing coils compensate the distortion in earths' field by magnetized steel hull ship, thus rendering it 'invisible' sensors. Whereas typical power requirements with copper are order 100 kW, <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Re</i> BCO HTS principle allows to reduce this an magnitude.

Accelerator magnets employing Nb <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> Sn Rutherford cables are more susceptible to conductor degradation than Nb-Ti magnets. Recent measurements on a accelerator magnet have revealed unexpected behaviour such as decaying voltages at constant current plateaus of V-I measurements, inverse ramp rate and temperature dependence quench currents, anomalous propagation measured by so-called antennas....
