Advanced examination of Nb$_{3}$Sn coils and conductors for the LHC luminosity upgrade: a methodology based on computed tomography and materialographic analyses
/ Santillana, I Aviles (CERN) ; Sgobba, S (CERN) ; Crouvizier, M D (CERN) ; Devred, A (CERN) ; Izquierdo, G Arnau (CERN) ; Bulat, B (CERN) ; Moros, A (CERN) ; Izquierdo Bermudez, S (CERN) ; Milanese, A (CERN) ; Savary, F (CERN) et al.
The future of particle accelerators is strongly linked to the development of high—field magnets. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is currently developing Nb$_{3}$Sn-based magnets for the high-luminosity upgrade of the large hadron collider (HL-LHC), to fully exploit its potential and surpass the intrinsic performance limitations of Nb–Ti-based magnets.

Metallurgical assessment of large size tensioning components for the precompression structure of the ITER central solenoid
/ Sgobba, Stefano (CERN) ; Lourenço, Sandra Sophie (CERN) ; Santillana, Ignacio Aviles (CERN) ; Libeyre, Paul (BIAM, St Paul lez Durance) ; Reagan, Travis (Oak Ridge, U.S. ITER) ; Wooten, Cain (Oak Ridge, U.S. ITER)
• An adapted fabrication and processing route including vacuum induction melting (VIM) and electroslag remelting (ESR) or vacuum arc remelting (VAR), combined with hot transformation steps involving where applicable redundant multidirectional forging, was successfully applied to the production of inconel 718 large size tensioning components for the precompression structure of the ITER central solenoid. • Material production involved a wide variety of gauges and product shapes, whose final properties are very consistent thanks to a repeatable and well mastered production process.

The ITER Central Solenoid (CS) will be one of the world's largest and most powerful pulsed superconducting electromagnet ever built; at an approximate weight of 1300 tons and a total height of 18 m consisting of a stack of six electrically independent 4.1 m diameter modules. In order to electrically connect the CS with the feeder busbars, 12 twin box joints are used to assure an efficient high current transfer while avoiding excessive AC losses. [...]

The development of new generation superconducting magnets for fusion research, such as the ITER experiment, is largely based on coils wound from so-called “Cable-In-Conduit” Conductors (CICCs). CICCs consist of various types of stainless steel jackets, densely filled with compacted superconducting strands, which are cooled by supercritical helium. [...]

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is the upgrade of the world’s largest particle collider; it will allow the full exploitation of the LHC potential and its operation beyond 2025. An essential part of the HL-LHC project are the Crab Cavities, that are particle de-flecting SRF cavities of non-axisymmetric shape made of bulk ultra-high purity Nb. [...]
