Residual strain in a Nb$_3$Sn strand mounted on a barrel for critical current measurements (2009)
Thilly, L, Scheuerlein, C, Stuhr, U, Bordini, B, Seeber, B
The strain dependence of the critical properties of Nb3Sn superconducting strands is a major complication for critical current (Ic) measurements. We report neutron diffraction measurements that have...
High critical current density (Jc) Nb3Sn conductor is the best candidate for next generation high field (> 10 T) accelerator magnets. Although very promising, state of the art high-Jc Nb3Sn...
$J_{c}(B,T,\epsilov)$ Parameterization for the ITER Nb$_3$Sn Production (2009)
A number of models for the critical surface of Nb3Sn, and in general A15 superconductors, have been developed in the past years. This paper compares the most common parameterizations using consistent...
Manufacture and Test of a Small Ceramic-Insulated Nb$_{3}$Sn Split Solenoid (2008)
Bordini, B, MacCaferri, R, Rossi, L, Tommasini, D
A small split solenoid wound with high-Jc Nb3Sn conductor, constituted by a 0.8 mm Rod Re-stack Process (RRP®) strand, was built and tested at CERN in order to study the applicability of: 1) ceramic...
Self-Field Effects in Magneto-Thermal Instabilities for Nb-Sn Strands (2008)
Bordini, B, Barzi, E, Fehér, S, Rossi, L, Zlobin, A V
Recent advancements in the critical current density (Jc) of Nb3Sn conductors, coupled with a large effective filament size, have drawn attention to the problem of magnetothermal instabilities. At low...
Stea, S., Antonietti, B., Baruffaldi, F., Visentin, M., Bordini, B., Sudanese, A., ...
Hylamer polyethylene was introduced in the 1990s as an alternative to conventional polyethylene. Its chemical and physical properties, and especially its high crystallinity, were claimed to improve...
