Development and Study of Nb 3 Sn Wires With High Specific Heat

Recently, a new type of Nb 3 Sn conductors were developed, which, by incorporating substances with high specific heat at 2-8 K in a proper design, have demonstrated significant improvement of minimum quench energy (MQE). This method to improving energy margins of conductors is promising to reduce Nb 3 Sn magnet training. Here, we continue studying this type of conductors. Voltage-current (V-I) measurements from 15 T to 0 T and voltage-field (V-B) sweeps at various currents were conducted to investigate the influence of increased specific heat on the intrinsic stability of Nb 3 Sn conductors. Normal zone propagation velocity (NZPV) was also studied. Lastly, a new scheme was put forward to introduce a new type of substances with not only high specific heat but also high thermal diffusivity to Nb 3 Sn conductors, which is expected to work more effectively.

Re-Assembly and Test of a COMB Dipole Magnet With STAR Wires

Rare-Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) coated conductors are an attractive option for application in high field accelerator magnets due to their high critical field and the convenience of fabrication without heat treatment compared to some other superconductors. A small REBCO accelerator magnet was previously fabricated and tested in liquid nitrogen, demonstrating over 90% critical current retention in the coils. This paper describes the magnet re-assembly with a different support structure and its test in liquid helium at 1.8–4.5 K. The magnet quench history along with the instrumentation data is presented and discussed.

The application of multi-wire drift chambers in cosmic ray research

Multiwire drift chambers designed for the neutrino experiment at the IHEP U-70 accelerator have found a new application in the MEPhI experiment focused on the detection of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. Their high durability and fine spatial and angular characteristics make these chambers perfectly suitable for such studies. The drift chambers were tested at MEPhI and used in constructing the CTUDC coordinatetracking setup, which operated together with the NEVOD water Cherenkov detector and the DECOR detector. The results of the studies of the parameters of drift chambers in the cosmic-ray flux at test benches and in the CTUDC setup are presented.

Setup for Measuring the Thermoelectric Properties of Ultrathin Wires

An experimental setup is developed to measure the thermoelectric properties of semiconductor nanowires with diameters of up to 5 nm in dielectric matrices. This setup makes it possible to measure the electrical resistance and thermoelectric power of nanostructured samples in the temperature range of 77–400 K.

Encapsulation of Polythiophene by Glycopolymer for Water Soluble Nano-wire

A water-soluble polythiophene (PT) was prepared by the self-assembling complex with a glycopolymer. The glycopolymer of poly(N-p-vinylbenzyl-D-lactonamide) (PVLA) formed self-assembling cylindrical structure based on the amphiphilicity even after the complexation with PT. We confirmed the improved optical functionality of PT due to the longer conjugated {pi}-orbital. It suggested that PT behaved like molecular nanowire with the self-assembled structure in the hydrophobic core of PVLA. PVLA-PT also showed specific biorecognition against corresponding lectin. These results suggested that the bioactive nanowire formation of PT with the glycopolymer was developed.
