Papers
Advanced Accelerator Magnets for Upgrading the LHC
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the last ten year of Nb3Sn accelerator magnet R&D and compared it to the needs of the upgrades and critically assessed the results of the Nb 3Sn and HTS technology and the planned R&DD programs also based on the inputs of first year of LHC operation.
A Numerical Model for the Simulation of Quench in the ITER Magnets
TL;DR: In this paper, a computational model describing the initiation and evolution of normal zones in the cable-in-conduit superconductors designed for the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) is presented.

A general model for thermal, hydraulic and electric analysis of superconducting cables
TL;DR: In this paper, a generic multi-component and multi-channel model for the analysis of superconducting cables is described, which treats simultaneous thermal, electric and hydraulic transients in cables.

Effects of neutron irradiation on pinning force scaling in state-of-the-art Nb3Sn wires
T. Baumgartner,Michael Eisterer,Harald W. Weber,René-Louis Flukiger,Christian Scheuerlein,Luca Bottura +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the volume pinning force of short wire samples was assessed in the temperature range from 4.2 to 15 K in applied fields of up to 7 T by means of SQUID magnetometry in the unirradiated state and after each irradiation step.

Metallographic analysis of 11 T dipole coils for High Luminosity-Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC)
Shreyas Balachandran,Jonathan Cooper,Orion B Van Oss,Peter J. Lee,Luca Bottura,Arnaud Devred,Frederic Savary,Christian Scheuerlein,Felix Wolf +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence of cracking of the brittle Nb3Sn filaments in a prototype dipole that resulted in degraded magnet performance, which can be attributed to an issue with the collaring process that is required in the assembly of dipole accelerator magnets.
