1. Innovation with Integrity Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST) EUCARD2 status by Bruker HTS (together with KIT) CERN-BHTS T-conference 31.08.2015

2. Bruker HTS 2 Outline Critical currents in high fields: new UH Ic-s; BHTS comments Plating of 32-36m tape with KIT meander Dog-boning General status at Bruker HTS Gustaaf Van Tendeloo Alexander Meledin, Uni Antwerpen 2CERN-BHTS Meeting, Alzenau, June 18, 2015

3. Bruker HTS 3 New HU data (summer 2015): CERN-BHTS T-Conf., Aug 31, 2015 BHTS comments: Great results!! -To check tape length in UH (it should be above 0.1 m) -Alpha value seems to be above 1 (we have 0.88); this may reduce currents above 20T

4. Bruker HTS EUCARD2: SS+Ag tapes recently punched by KIT Confidential CERN-BHTS Meeting, Alzenau, June 18, 2015 Additional protection of tape after punching is provided

5. Bruker HTS Additional protection of tape after punching at KIT Confidential CERN-BHTS Meeting, Alzenau, June 18, 2015 Two new defects were introduced to the 36m long tape: one from low-current end (delta x = 1.5 m from the end). Other defect was at distance 21 (?) m. Reason: errors in tape handling (not during plating step!) Suppression of dog boning is implemented. This suppression is found to be dependent on quality of punching.

6. Bruker HTS 6 Progress in suppression of dog-boning: is important in case of meander-punched tapes Cu thickness: 27µm in the middle 38µm at the edge Not ideal, but much better! 35 µm Confidential CERN-BHTS Meeting, Alzenau, June 18, 2015

8. Innovation with Integrity First 610m long tapes (w=4mm) processed in PLD600 (May-June 2015) 8 8

9. Bruker HTS 9 Summary BHTS is transferred by 90% to new building. Installation works with equipment are in progress. Installation to be completed in October 2015. Fine tuning of process parameters: November 2015 New equipment for 12 mm tape is ordered in the end of August. New PLD300 will be assembled in November 2015; will be put in operation in the beginning of 2016. Works on alternative processing sequence is successfully accomplished by KIT and BHTS. Additional protection of tape after punching is developed. 36 (?)m long tape is processed with minor problems (not by plating!) Suppression of dog boning is implemented. This suppression is found to be dependent on quality of punching. Confidential CERN-BHTS Meeting, Alzenau, June 18, 2015
