Rutherford cables with anisotropic transverse resistance

Putting a resistive core into the center of a Rutherford cable increases resistance between strands in the crossover direction, which greatly reduces the coupling currents, even when the resistance to adjacent turns remains small. This allows one to improve stability by soldering strands together or...

Description
Summary:Putting a resistive core into the center of a Rutherford cable increases resistance between strands in the crossover direction, which greatly reduces the coupling currents, even when the resistance to adjacent turns remains small. This allows one to improve stability by soldering strands together or using porous metal, without incurring a penalty of increased coupling. We describe our manufacturing methods and an experimental measurement of coupling.
