Magnetic and Mechanical Analysis of Bi-2212 Rutherford Cable in a Cos-Theta Sub-Scale Dipole Coil

The U.S. Magnet Development Program (US-MDP) explores high-field accelerator magnets compatible with operational conditions beyond the limits of Nb${}_3$Sn technology. The ongoing R&D High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS) suggests using Bi${}_2$Sr${}_2$CaCu${}_2$O${}_{8-x}$ (Bi-2212) as superconducting element. Bi-2212 Rutherford cables maintain a high critical current (I${}_C$) when exposed to a large external magnetic field. However, Bi-2212 exhibits an oversensitive stress-strain response when subject to large Lorentz forces. This paper reports on the magnetic and mechanical analysis of the Bi-2212 cosine-theta insert being developed at Fermilab for a hybrid magnet composed of two external layers of Nb${}_3$Sn and two internal layers of Bi-2212. We performed a FEM analysis of the insert to estimate the HTS stress state in the coil’s strands under magnetic and mechanical loads.
