Introduction
Join a great team pushing the limits of superconductors and of superconducting devices for accelerators, to shape the future of CERN. CERN, take part!
You will join the Superconductors and Superconducting Devices (SCD) Section, part of the Magnets, Superconductors and Cryostats (MSC) Group within the Technology (TE) Department. The Section is responsible for development, measurement and procurement of superconducting materials, LTS and HTS wires, tapes and cables for the CERN accelerator complex; development and construction of HTS superconducting devices, e.g. current leads and electrical transfer lines; operation and upgrade of laboratories for characterization of superconducting materials.
SCD is also responsible for interventions in the LHC tunnel for aspects related to LHC superconducting powering equipment and for the associated maintenance activities.
The section is presently launching the R&D on Nb3Sn and HTS technologies for novel applications, in particular high field magnets. The next years will be crucial in the demonstration of the potentials of these technologies for future accelerators and other uses.
