Development of binary superconducting current leads with a gas-cooled normal part.

Summary

The design of a binary superconducting 1-kiloA current lead, operating between 300 and 4.2 K, is presented. The normal conducting part of the lead is cooled by high pressure helium gas of 60 K inlet temperature. The resulting warm end temperature of the conduction cooled high-temperature superconductor part is about 67 K and as a consequence a magnetic stray field of 0.2 T can be tolerated. A total heat load of 0.2 watt at 4.2 K has been foreseen.
