✦ Synopsis

The stability of the conductor against local heat pulses was measured as a function of magnetic field, transport current, temperature and cooling conditions. Comparing liquid helium cooling at 1 bar and supercritical cooling at 4 bar, the stability was found to be higher in liquid helium for transport currents above ~ 70% Ic(B ) . Below that current value supercritical helium cooling yielded a higher stability.
