Abstract:The use of superconducting composite cables based on Nb 3 Sn, an intermetallic compound of Niobium and Tin, is one of the favorite routes to reach magnetic fields higher than 10 T in state-of-the-art accelerator magnets. The brittle and nonlinear nature of the epoxy-impregnated Nb 3 Sn Rutherford cable makes challenging to predict its mechanical limits and, consequently, the overall performance of the magnet. In the case of collared magnet structures, peak stresses in coils are usually reached during the colla… Show more
