Abstract

Two new options for a hollow NbTi superconducting cable were considered. The first one is based on keystoned wires wrapped around a copper-nickel tube 5 mm in diameter. The second one is a hollow cable of rectangular cross section. The data from cable short sample tests are presented. Some problems with the production technology are discussed. This work is part of the R&D for the Future Accelerator Facility, at GSI in Darmstadt.
