The study of next-generation high-energy accelerators based on 16 T dipoles has emphasized the need for higher performance, cost-effective Nb3Sn superconducting wires. A Conductor Development Program aiming to reach a non-copper critical current density (J(c)) of 1500 A/mm(2) at 16 T and 4.2 K has been launched by CERN, with the involvement of...
