Measurement of the superconducting transition temperature of Dural and titanium 6Al-4V alloys

Superconductor Science and Technology 21:6 (2008)

Authors:

U Divakar, S Henry, H Kraus, AJB Tolhurst

Abstract:

We have measured the superconducting transition temperatures of commercial alloys Dural and titanium 6Al-4V, to assess their suitability for use in the cryoEDM neutron electric dipole moment experiment. Our sample of aluminium alloy Dural became a superconductor at 0.84 0.07K but the titanium alloy did not show any superconducting behaviour down to the experimental limit of 0.17 0.11K. © IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:

European Underground Rare Event Calorimeter Array (EURECA) will be an astro-particle physics facility in the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane, aiming to directly detect galactic dark matter. The EURECA collaboration unites CRESST, EDELWEISS and the Spanish-French experiment ROSEBUD, thus concentrating and focussing effort on cryogenic detector research in Europe into a single facility. The aim is to explore WIMP - nucleon scalar cross sections in the 10-9 - 10-10 picobarn region with a target mass of up to one ton. A major advantage of EURECA is the planned use of more than just one target material (multi target experiment for WIMP identification).
