HTS Cable TestingGregory S. Boebinger, Florida State University, DMR 0654118Applied Superconductivity Center and Magnet Science and Technology Division Large DC magnets can be prime beneficiaries of HTS cable technology • The figure at left is the schematic cross section of a concept for a 60 T hybrid magnet that would use HTS cables to reduce electrical power consumption to less than half that of today’s world-record-holding 45 T hybrid magnet at the MagLab. This work was enabled by strong collaborationswith a former MagLab PhD student who recently formed a company to develop his ideas for making cables out of REBCO coated conductors. Danko van der Laan is affiliated with: • Advanced Conductor Technologies LLC • University of Colorado, Department of Physics • National Institute of Standards and Technology, • all located in Boulder, CO. • This work benefited from a DOE-High Energy Physics SBIR award to Advanced Conductor Technologies LLC and from developing collaborations with the Magnet Division at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN), who offered us a several month visit by Gerard Willering, Marie Curie Fellow of CERN.
