El miércoles 24 de noviembre a las 10:00 AM, hora de la Ciudad de México, la Dra. Erica Salazar de Commonwealth Fusion Systems, EUA, presentará el seminario virtual "HTS magnets and SPARC are paving a pathway towards faster, smaller, and economical high-field fusion energy". Resumen: The SPARC device is a D-T burning tokamak designed to produce net fusion power and accelerate the path to practical commercial fusion energy. High temperature superconductors (HTS) are the fundamental technology enabling SPARC to be built at smaller scales and faster timelines relative to net-energy tokamaks using low temperature superconductors (LTS). Compared to LTS materials such as Nb3Sn and NbTi, HTS materials such as Rare-Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) operate at significantly higher current densities, temperatures, and fields. The increase performance capability of HTS enable the design of smaller magnets that can operate at significantly higher magnetic fields and at higher temperatures. This talk will discuss how HTS magnets are transformational for many high-field magnet applications such as fusion energy and how it drives the technology behind SPARC.
