Summary

EXPERIMENTS INVESTIGATING THE STABILITY OF CABLE-IN-CONDUIT SUPERCONDUCTORS WERE PERFORMED USING TEST CONDUCTORS COMPOSED OF SMALL, QUADRUPLEX CABLES ENCLOSED IN STEEL TUBES. ALL TEST CONDUCTORS CONTAINED TWO STRANDS OF IDENTICAL NIOBIUM-TITANIUM/COPPER COMPOSITE SUPERCONDUCTOR AND TWO STRANDS OF SOLID COPPER. THE GRADE OF COPPER WAS VARIED SO THAT A DIFFERENT NET STABILIZER RESISTIVITY EXISTED FOR EACH CONDUCTOR. THE SURPRISING RESULT IS THAT STABILITY IS APPARENTLY AFFECTED WHEN A LARGE FRACTION OF THE COPPER STABILIZER IS SEGREGATED INTO SEPARATE CABLE STRANDS. THESE OBSERVATIONS ARE COMPARED WITH OTHER DATA IN THE LITERATURE.
