Summary

The so-called "well cooled" criterion is now used extensively to characterize stability in the design of superconducting cable-in-conduit conductors. Using a simplified analytical model, the authors have been able to derive a very simple formula which directly yields the critical energy of such a conductor, for the case of a constant heat transfer coefficient between the strands and helium. This formula, in agreement with numerical simulations, shows that the "well cooled" criterion is not a guarantee of a high stability margin in terms of energy.
