Fermilab is developing 11 Tesla superconducting accelerator magnets based o
n nb(3)Sn superconductor, Multifilamentary Nb3Sn strands produced using the
Modified Jelly Roil, Internal Tin, and powder-in-Tube technologies were us
ed for the development and test of the prototype cable. To optimize the cab
le geometry with respect to the critical current, short samples of Rutherfo
rd cable with packing factors In the 85 to 95% range were fabricated and st
udied. In this paper, the results of measurements of critical current, n-va
lue and RRR made on the round virgin strands and on the strands extracted f
rom the cable samples are presented.
