Development of Force-Cooled Superconductors for Use in Large Magnets

摘要

Force-cooled conductors or ICSs offer an attractive option for designers of large magnets. Knowledge of the performance of this type of conductor has advanced sufficiently in recent years for reliable designs to be made. Preliminary designs can be made with the help of relatively simple formulae and a rather extensive data base from small conductor tests. (ERA citation 06:032737)
