New formulations and processes, Judith Driscoll (Imperial)
HIP and material modifications, Trevor Shields (Birmingham) |
| | 14:30 - 15:00 | MgB2 Conductor Applicability:
irreversibility line - current
Bartek Glowacki (Cambridge) |
| | 15:00 - 15:30 | Cryogenic Efficiency and AC losses
Philip Sargent (Diboride Conductors, Cambridge)
|
| | 15:30 - 17:30 | Tea and Close. Visitors join the discussions over tea. |
The meeting was informal and many presentations were given directly from research notes without permanent record.
There will be no published proceedings.
Since the meeting, the work described by David Caplin and Judith Driscoll has been published as
High Critical Current Density and Improved Irreversibility Field in Bulk MgB2 Made By A Scaleable, Nanoparticle Addition Route.
