Abstract
Joints for the ITER superconducting Central Solenoid should perform in rapi dly varying magnetic field with low losses and low DC resistance. This pape r describes the design of the ITER joint and presents its assembly process. Two joints were built and tested at the PTF facility at MIT. Test results are presented; losses in transverse and parallel field and the DC performan ce are discussed. The developed joint demonstrates sufficient margin for ba seline ITER operating scenarios.
