We propose a novel experiment, the Canfranc Axion Detection Experiment (CADEx), to probe dark matter axions with masses in range 330-460 $\mu$eV, within W-band (80-110 GHz), an unexplored parameter space well-motivated window of Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) axions. The experimental design consists microwave resonant cavity haloscope high static magnetic field coupled highly sensitive detecting system based on Kinetic Inductance Detectors via optimized quasi-optics (horns and mirrors)....
The electromagnetic and thermal properties of a double pancake coil made second generation high temperature superconductor, 2G-HTS, have been studied. was wound with no-insulation between turns (NI coil) later impregnated epoxy resin glued to copper support plate. thermally anchored the cryocooler cold finger cooled by conduction. After several cycles no degradation its superconducting observed. operated under vacuum currents (up 400 A in steady conditions) at different temperatures range 5...
Early quench detection and thermal stability of superconducting coils are great relevance for practical applications. Magnets made with second generation high temperature (2G-HTS) tapes present low propagation velocities therefore slow voltage development local rises, which may cause irreversible damage. Since depends on the anisotropy conductivity, this be used to achieve an improvement robustness 2G-HTS coils. On pancake type coils, conductivity along (coil's azimuthal direction) is mostly...
Degradation of superconducting critical currents 2G-HTS coils may appear upon thermal cycling due to the tensile stress differences its elements that induce increasing tape damages. We report on and stability effects round epoxy-impregnated pancake under two cooling conditions (liquid nitrogen conduction cooling). Thermal has been analyzed by measuring quench development propagation. Minimum energy values longitudinal radial propagation velocities are reported. The influence different epoxy...
