Title: Design and performance of fast ramping and modulation coil geometries in superconducting solenoids

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Magn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6474980

The design and manufacturer of fast ramping and modulation coil geometries using wire wound filamentary Nb/sub 3/Sn and NbTi standard conductors is discussed. Construction and performance details are presented for three different solenoid designs. First, a NbTi 120mm bore two section magnet with an inner section capable of generating an additional 1 Tesla field in 10 seconds with the outer section energized to 7 Tesla. Secondly, a 2 Tesla 45kmm bore NMR solenoid which can be energized to full field in 1.1 seconds. Thirdly, a Nb/sub 3/Sn modulation coil which can produce a modulation field of 50 milliTesla at frequencies up to 1 kHz within the bore of a 12 Tesla solenoid.
