Beam heating explains critical current suppression measured during ion irradiation of REBCO tapes

Reports of critical current (Ic) suppression during cryogenic ion irradiation of REBCO tapes have raised concerns for the operational margins of fusion power plant (FPP) magnets. However, the data remain inconclusive regarding beam heating due to the difficulty of measuring local temperatures wi...
