Abstract

The results of the technology development and first tests of the samples of the novel CICC are presented and discussed. The miniature CICC consists of thirty 0.5 mm NbTi strands inside a conduit with an outer diameter of 6.4 mm and has a projected operating current not less than 6 kA. The conductor design uses the well known and proven CICC technology. This new design looks very attractive, with several possible advantages, such as increased conductor stability margin and better mechanical rigidity of the conductor. Before N-CICC development the preliminary predictive analysis was done to justify the new conductor concept
