THE FEASIBILITY OF LARGE SUPERCONDUCTING COILS. Research Report 160

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4640309

Problems associated with superconducting materials, structural integrity, transition into the normal state. control of the magnetic field, and maintenance of the cryogenic environment are discussed. The limitations of field strength imposed by the material used are concluded to be, presently, the only fundamental limitations on coil size. (auth)
