  8. Experimental method • Sample: - 150 mm long rectangular stack made of 6 alternating cables • Cable: - CuNi10 - LHC cables geometry, MB inner layer • T sensors: - AuFe0.07at%/Chromel differential thermocouples - in grooves in the central cable - installed before impregnation • Heating: - Joule heating along resistive strands - steady-state - different configurations (heated cables) P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits

  9. Experimental method Q Q 1 2 Instrumented cable 3 4 5 6 • Insulation: - fiber glass sleeve - vacuum impregn. resin: CTD-101 - thickness: 150 µm • Cooling (transversal): - He II, 1.9 K - He I, 4.2 K • Pressure: 0 MPa P.P. Granieri - Heat extraction and quench limits

  16. scaled to magnet geometry •  to beconfirmed by a • dedicated test Conclusions • Heat extraction through Nb3Sn insulation was measured • worse than through LHC Nb-Ti insulation below a ΔT of 1.8 K (in the cable center), since the He II contribution is missing • better than through Enhanced Nb-Ti insulation above a ΔT of 5.7 K (in the cable center), because kNb3Sn > KNb-Ti • 3.7 K • 6.4 K • Heat extraction from the cable allows a first estimate of the quench limit: • MQXF mid-plane cable is the most critical: 155 mW/cm3, vs. 4 mW/cm3 expected • MQXF-MQXC will have a quench limit 2 to 3 times those of MB-MQXA-MQXB Numerical model of the experimental tests Thermal measurement of a short model coil Perspectives P.P.
