Abstract
A method and system for quench detection in high temperature superconductors, such as REBCO (rare-earth barium copper oxide), before thermal runaway. A REBCO superconducting tape is excited as a transmission line forming standing waves. A quench may then be detected in response to detecting a disturbance of the standing waves. In this manner, quench in high temperature superconductors, such as REBCO, is rapidly detected before thermal runaway.
