Research abstract
78528S Long-term goals for High Energy Physics require Nb3Sn superconducting magnets with unprecedented performance and cost reductions for the construction of the next generation particle accelerators. This project seeks to fabricate high performance multifilamentary Nb3Sn wires with optimized 40 micrometer isolated sub-elements that combine high current density with low ac losses. Phase I will: (1) fabricate prototype high performance Nb3Sn wires with isolated 40micron filaments; (2) characterize the superconducting and microscopic properties; and (3) demonstrate economical advantages of the proposed wire fabrication approach. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The Nb3Sn wires should find applications in the next generation particle accelerator, energy storage, fusion reactor, and NMR magnets.
