RD5 – Infrastructure and Measurement Techniques 

The main goals of the RD5 Line are:

  • In order to develop the conductors, demonstrators, short models and prototypes and to test them in relevant conditions of field and forces define the needs and upgrade the existing or develop new:
  • Infrastructure for manufacturing of the Nb3Sn and HTS cables
  • Infrastructure for testing and characterization of Nb3Sn and HTS strands and cables
  • Infrastructure for development of magnet technology demonstrators and short magnet models
  • Infrastructure for construction of full-scale HFM magnet prototypes
  • Infrastructure for testing of demonstrators and short magnet models, including development of suitable large bore test facility with target 15 T background field
  • Infrastructure for construction of full-scale HFM magnet prototypes
  • Instrumentation and measurement equipment needs for the HFM R&D programme

The Work Packages of the RD5 Line are the following:
