A new synchrotron facility is being designed for the acceleration of high intensity and high-energy ion and proton beams at GSI, Darmstadt. The main magnetic elements of the second stage (SIS300) are superconducting dipoles with 100 mm aperture, 6-T magnetic field amplitude, and 1 T/s field ramp rate. The main requirements for these magnets, in addition to high field quality, are minimal heat losses, both in the coil and in the iron yoke, at an acceptable temperature margin. An increase of the temperature margin can be achieved by increasing the volume of superconductor in the cable. However, increasing the number of strands in the cable results in a growth of the cable width. Since coupling losses in the cable are proportional to the fourth power of cable width, these losses rise dramatically. This presentation considers and analyses different ways of reducing these cable heat losses. The calculated results of heat losses for different geometries, based on various cable designs, as well as the parameters of optimal cable designs, based on computer simulations, are presented.
