17.5 Tesla Superconducting Magnet

Tesla Superconducting Accelerating Structures

The application of the superconductivity phenomenon in accelerators originated with pioneer work in the late sixties at the High Energy Physics Laboratory (HEPL) at Stanford University [1]. Starting with the deposition of lead on copper and niobium on copper, by the end of 1968 the HEPL group had developed and tested the first bulk niobium superconducting accelerating cavity [2]. The result was...

Echo-Planar Imaging for a 9.4 Tesla Vertical-Bore Superconducting Magnet Using an Unshielded Gradient Coil

Echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequences were developed for a 9.4 Tesla vertical standard bore (~54 mm) superconducting magnet using an unshielded gradient coil optimized for live mice imaging and a data correction technique with reference scans. Because EPI requires fast switching of intense magnetic field gradients, eddy currents were induced in the surrounding metallic materials, e.g., the room t...

A 50 mm BORE, 13 TESLA SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET EMPLOYING A PREREACTED MULTIFILAMENTARY Nb3Sn CONDUCTOR

Following the construction of two hybrid magnets, we intend to build up a third hybrid magnet which will produce about 30 T. A prereacted multifilamentary Nb Sn conductor will be employed for the 12 T superconducting part of the hybrid. As a first step for the project, we have designed, constructed and tested a magnet which consists of 14 double-pancakes made of a prereacted multifilamentary Nb...
