Title: Problems connected with the generation of continuous magnetic fields above 15 Tesla

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Magn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6434010

A review is given about the present possibilities to generate magnetic fields beyond 15 T. Whereas it seems feasible to build purely superconducting magnets for fields up to 20 T no conductors with the required critical data are available at present which allow the generation of higher fields. Magnetic fields beyond 15 T are generally produced by resistive, water cooled coils. If fields beyond 25 T have to be generated, problems are encountered because of the large amount of power which is necessary. In order to achieve the highest continuous magnetic fields, hybrid magnets can be built which consist of an inner resistive part and an outer superconducting coil. The limits of this technique are discussed for various conditions. 14 refs.
