  1. Magnetization measurements as a tool for investigating the potential electrical transport properties of Nb3Sn superconducting wires. Michela Greco, INFN-Genova

A Working Group on Conductor Characterization (WGCC) CEA, CERN, INFN-Genova, INFN-Milano, University of Twente is aimed to define and carry out reliable, reproducible methods for the measurement of electromagnetic properties.

  4. Intro m(T) • Tc(B) • Nb shielded volume • Nb3Sn shielded volume Bdc=10 G, parallel field m(T) m(B) m= c0 ×Applied Field ×Sample Volume [Wb m] Conversion from cgs to SI units 1 emu=10-10/4p [Wb m] Susceptibility c0 can be calculated using FEM. The samples measured can be assumed as cylinders Parallel field, c0 ~1; Transverse field, c0~2 c(B,T) samples From the comparison of measurements in parallel and transverse field it is possible to evaluate demagnetizing value N [Beff=B/(1-N)] and compare with FEM calculation.

  8. Intro m(T) m(B) c(B,T) samples Nb? … • First phase: • Preliminary measurements on Internal TIN and “old” PIT samples • Calibrated the DCsquid /VSM/AC apparata and understand “different” results, if any • Verified the info that can be derived from different meas M.

  10. Intro m(T) m(B) c(B,T) PIT Nb? … Critical current measurements show high values of Jc for this kind of Nb3Sn wires..but, unfortunately, all the samples measured up-to-now show instabilities at low fields.

Modelization with FEM is in progress No concluding word, for sure, but a warning on the importance of Nb in PIT Nb3Sn wires.]
