Abstract: Soldering strand stability in Rutherford cables may be enhanced without increasing coupling by soldering strands together or by using porous metals. Resistance between strands in the crossover direction are also increased by placing a resistive core in the center of the Rutherford cable. This will decrease coupling currents even when resistance to adjacent turns are minimal.
