Abstract

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of the general-purpose detectors to be provided for the LHC project at CERN. The design field of the CMS superconducting magnet is 4 T, the magnetic length is 12.5 m and the free bore is 6 m. Critical current measurements in fields up to 6 T have been performed on the CMS stabilized conductors using the MA.RI.S.A. test facility at INFN-Genova. A comparison among the measurements gives information about the possible critical current degradation and assures an accurate quality control of the conductor production.
