Nuclotron-Type Cables: From Fast Ramped Sc. Magnets to Multipurpose Application
In the 1990s, for Nuclotron, the pioneer accelerator using fast ramped superconducting magnets, a novel cable with superconducting strands wrapped around a cooling tube was developed. Such cable fabrication technology was advanced and adopted for the SIS100 or NICA project. In parallel with major application for fast ramped superferric magnets, application for high field magnets with a cosine–theta type is investigated. In this paper, we give an overview of the history of Nuclotron-type cables, list its advantages, and outline its applicability far beyond the original usage field.
