Abstract
Flux-jump stabilized superconducting magnets are usually impregnated with epoxy to prevent wire movement and enhance stability. Hoop stress experienced by the windings when the magnet is energized would otherwise cause wire movement, leading to localized heating and, quite probably, thermal runaway.
