Type of article: Article

Summary

THE AUTHORS PRESENT THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS OF THE APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE SHORT SAMPLE CRITICAL CURRENT OF THE CABLE FOR THE SSC. KEY FEATURES OF THE SYSTEM PRESENTED ARE: (1) A SAMPLE HOLDER WHICH CLAMPS THE SAMPLES SUFFICIENTLY WELL SUCH THAT NO TRAINING QUENCHES ARE REQUIRED TO PERFORM CRITICAL CURRENT MEASUREMENTS ; (2) VOLTAGE TAP BOARDS USING A PRINTED-CIRCUIT TECHNIQUE WHICH ELIMINATES THE NECESSITY OF SOLDERING WIRES FOR THE VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS ; (3) A 1-M LONG, 50-MM BORE DIPOLE MAGNET WITH CLOSE-IN IRON DESIGNED TO PRODUCE 7.5 T WITH A 6,000 A EXCITATION CURRENT ; AND (4) AN AIR-LOCK SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS REPEATED SAMPLE CHANGES WITHOUT THE MAGNET CHAMBER BEING CONTAMINATED WITH IMPURITIES.
