  3. Background • Nb3Sn superconducting strands are the likely canditate for next generation: [1] • large-scale high-field applications • LHC luminosity upgrade • some undulator and wiggler magnets. • Low-fields magneto-thermal instabilities limiting application performance. • Two types of co-existing characters: • self-field • magnetization-type. • RRR, Deff, strand diameter, and Jc.

  4. Motivation/Procedure • Instabilities measured on single-strands mounted using ITER barrels  lead to difficulties in magnets. [2] • V-I and V-H and Stability current measured for samples with varying RRR, Deff, strand diameter, and Jc (varying reaction) • V-I 0.2 A/s near transition • 0-2 Tesla V-B* • I-ramp 1 A/s • B-ramp 1 T/min • *One sample 0-3T

  5. Strand Parameters

  6. Sample Parameters Range Deff: 20-87µm RRR: 8-91 Strand Dia: 0.5-0.84mm 12 Jc: 743-2908 A/mm2 Twist Pitch: 15mm

  7. Stability Data 12T Jc= 2908 A/mm2 12T Jc= 743 A/mm2

  8. Stability Data 12T Jc= 1178 A/mm2 12T Jc= 1547 A/mm2

  9. Stability Data 12T Jc= 1840 A/mm2 12T Jc= 1267 A/mm2

  10. Stability Data 12T Jc= 1544 A/mm2 12T Jc= 1727 A/mm2

  11. Stability Data 12T Jc= 2067 A/mm2 12T Jc= 1494 A/mm2

  12. Stability Data 12T Jc= 1379 A/mm2 12T Jc= 1317A/mm2

  13. Stability Data 12T Jc= 1271 A/mm2 0-3T 12T Jc= 1614 A/mm2

  14. Stability Data Correlations

  15. Stability Data Correlations

  16. Stability Data Correlations

  17. Stability Data Correlations Deff React Deff-react/Deff ≈ 1 Deff-react/Deff < 1

  18. Stability Data Correlations

  19. Conclusions/Future Work • Clear inverse relationship between Deff and Js • Better fit with Deff-react • Of course RRR, Strand Diameter also important – dependence less pronounced for this data set • Measure additional Tube and RIT-type strands • Compare to stability models proposed by Sumption and Bordini-Rossi.
