Résumé

The current lead is a series combination of a normal metal conductor at the warmer part and a high temperature superconducting at the colder part, and is cooled by a contact with distributed or staged refrigerators instead of boil-off helium gas. An analytical method is developed to derive a mathematical expression for the required refrigerator power. As results of the study, the absolute minimum in the refrigerator power per unit current is presented as a thermodynamic limit and the leads cooled by a two-stage refrigerator are theoretically optimized. Some aspects in practical design are also discussed with a new and useful graphical method.
