Shanghai Superconductor Successfully Hosts ICFA Mini-workshop on High Field Magnets for pp Colliders

From June 15 to 17, 2015, the ICFA Mini-workshop on High Field Magnets for pp Colliders was successfully held at the Xuhui Campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The event was organized by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and hosted by Shanghai Superconductor Technology Co., Ltd.

The conference attracted nearly 60 experts, scholars, and researchers from the fields of superconductivity and particle accelerators, both domestically and internationally. Notable attendees included Wang Yifang, director of IHEP, Qin Qing, deputy director of IHEP, Prof. Weiren Chou from Fermilab, Prof. Daniel Dietderich from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Prof. Ramesh Gupta and Prof. Robert Palmer from Brookhaven National Laboratory. The workshop focused on extensive exchanges and lively discussions on topics such as high-field magnet accelerator technology, design and manufacturing methods for high-field magnets, and the excellent high-field performance of YBCO.

As a leading brand in China's superconductivity industry, Shanghai Superconductor was invited to host the event. The company fully leveraged its role as the host, and the attendees praised the well-organized and professional arrangements. Industry peers also commended the high-quality service level provided. The workshop facilitated communication and sharing among industry experts and scholars, bridging the gap between research institutions and enterprises. It showcased the company's technical strength and made a significant contribution to the success of the event, earning unanimous praise from peers and the many attending scholars and experts.

After the conference, participants were invited to tour the headquarters of Shanghai Superconductor. Company staff showcased the company's second-generation HTS coating production line, second-generation HTS tapes, and application products based on these tapes. The superconducting tapes, known for their excellent current-carrying performance under low-temperature and high-field conditions, received high recognition from domestic and international scholars and guests.
