New Techniques for Superconducting Cables

This paper presents experimental results of tests on new techniques of constructing superconducting cables; those fabricated from braided elemental and high field alloying superconductors. Braided superconducting cables are feasible for small size, packaged delay lines. Tests were facilitated by the use of. a tunnel diode pulse generator operating at 4.2°K. Cables fabricated with a braided niobium...
