Aluminium stabilised superconducting cable development for high energy physics detector magnets

Under the leadership of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) an international ad hoc collaboration for conducting cables developed an aluminium stabilised superconducting cable for future detector magnets. With the financial support of the Swiss government, this R&D work was carried out for the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). In this report the manufacturing process is described and results of the quality control measurements are summarised. These tests showed that the industrial manufacturing of an aluminium stabilised superconducting cable is feasible.<
