Summary:

Superconductors for use in the magnets of high energy particle accelerators have been under development at BNL since 1962. The first wide braided conductor was made in 1968 from single core NbTi wire. The conductor now used in the prototype ISABELLE magnets is a more sophisticated version of these early conductors. The large aspect ratio attainable with flat braids makes it possible to construct dipole and quadrupole magnets from a single layer of conductor, considerably simplifying their design. Magnets made from this type of conductor have performed excellently, exhibiting very little training and demonstrating a remarkable ability to quench without sustaining damage. The fabrication steps for braided conductor are described. Contracts have been negotiated for the industrial production of braided conductor and the first shipments of finished conductor are scheduled for delivery early in 1977. A multifilamentary Nb/sub 3/Sn version of the conductor is also being developed and is described briefly.
