While AMS-02 is currently operated on board of the International Space Station, the next generation of cosmic particle detector is already planned. AMS-100 will be operated at Lagrange Point 2 and will feature a geometric acceptance of 100m*sr. With this large acceptance and improved momentum resolution a measurement of cosmic rays up to the PeV scale will be possible and an improvement of factor 1000 regarding the sensitivity of anti-matter measurements is expected.
The magnetic field of the spectrometer will be generated by a High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) solenoid. This coil will include several layers of individual HTS tapes. The coil is operated at 55K, and it will produce a field of 0.5T at 10kA current. To reduce the material budget in terms of mass and interaction length the HTS tapes will be stabilized using few millimetres of aluminium. As an intermediate step a small demonstrator coil is in preparation. In this R&D phase multiple samples, including straight cable samples, meteoroid impacts samples as well as coil samples with a few windings are prepared and teste. In this talk measurement results of the different samples will be presented and discussed.
