Abstract

This paper presents past results and future goals of the Nb₃Sn strand and cable R&D being performed within the High Field Magnet program at Fermilab. Research tools include a reaction site for Nb₃Sn, a Short Sample Test Facility, a Scanning Electron Microscope, and a 28-strand cabling machine. Strands of various designs and diameters produced with the Internal Tin, Modified Jelly Roll, and Powder-in-Tube methods, and several Rutherford-type cables were studied.
