Activities  

BAF

The current activities aim to advance the understanding of internal oxidation in Nb3Sn with Hf and Ta. Experiments in model samples and wires are utilized to gain insights into the phase transformations involved.

UNIGE

Demonstrate enhanced critical current density in Nb3Sn wires using scalable fabrication methods suitable for industrial production.

Define the electromechanical limits of commercial and R&D Nb3Sn wires through tests simulating operational constraints in accelerator magnets.

KIT

Development of tailored HTS-wires for magnet and energy applications.
Commissioning of ReBCO CC deposition equipment.

U-TWENTE

Development of a test rig for a systematic study of bonding and delamination issues in ReBCO Roebel cables samples including a first demonstration test at 77 K.

INFN
