Title: Characterization of Nb3Sn Strand for ITER

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1039424· OSTI ID:1039424

We have an ongoing research program for characterization of superconductor composite strands, the principal output of which is sensitive measurements of critical current Ic over a broad range of the essential parameters: longitudinal strain µ, temperature T, and magnetic field B. This features a new apparatus for integrated measurement of Ic(µ,T,B) on the same, long-conductor sample without remounting.
