Description

Non-destructive, absolute, DC measurement of small beam currents is the domain of superconducting CCCs.
In this presentation, the three present places of activity are discussed, CERN-AD, FAIR, and the basic research in the area Jena.
The latest laboratory results of smaller CCCs are presented: Single pulse resolutions below 1 nApp, a white noise currnet density of 1 pA/sqrt(Hz) and a bandwidth of over 1 MHz.
The plans for transferring these results to the world of the large FAIR-CCC are explained.
Finally, the possibilities and limits of alternative, non-cryogenic solutions are discussed.
