Abstract
The stability of two kinds of conductors, CuNb/(Nb,Ti)(3)Sn and Cu/(Nb ,Ti)(3)Sn has been studied in order to obtain basic information for th e future compact design of high field superconducting magnets using a (Nb,Ti)(3)Sn conductor stabilized with a high strength-high conductivi ty CuNb in-situ composite. From the results of experiments and numeric al analyses on minimum quench energy (MOE) and quench front propagatio n velocity, it was found that there is no substantial degradation of t he stability in the conductor stabilized and reinforced with CuNb in-s itu composite, suggesting a possibility of the future compact design o f a high field superconducting magnet using a CuNb/(Nb,Ti)(3)Sn conduc tor.
