RD1 – Nb3Sn Conductors

The main goals of the RD1 Line are:

• Industrialize HFM R&D wires, including new suppliers, and reduce cost
• Perform R&D to increase Jc performance (to ~1500 A/mm2 at 16 T, i.e. ~25 % above state-of-the-art)
• Procure HL-LHC class wire and cable for the magnet program, including extensive characterization measurements
