RD2 - HTS Conductors and HTS Technologies 

The main goals of the RD2 Line are:

  • Procure conductors for the magnet program, including extensive characterization measurements. Present Focus is on ReBCO
  • Develop ReBCO conductors in R&D laboratories
  • Explore the potential of promising new materials, e.g. iron based superconductors
  • Explore HTS magnet technology at for accelerator main dipoles in the 14 to 20 T range
