Title: Status and Development of Pulsed Magnets at the NHMFL Pulsed Field Facility

Abstract

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory's Pulsed Field Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory is one of few research centers in the world that can create and use ultrahigh pulsed magnetic field for scientific research. The facility houses several types of nondestructive pulsed magnets which can provide the peak fields ranging from 60 to 100 T for users. This study will report the status of the user magnets and recent magnet developments to improve the quality and magnetic fields of our user magnets. In particular, this paper will present a new cooling technique that significantly reduces the cooling time without affecting the mechanical performance of the magnets. A possible upgrade of our facility with a new duplex magnet that is powered by a 4-MJ capacitor bank to deliver 80 T for users will be also reported. Finally, in addition, we will discuss some valuable lessons learned from magnet failures at our facility and possible further magnet design improvements to increase the magnet longevity or peak magnetic fields.

FIRST 100 T NON-DESTRUCTIVE MAGNET

Conference SIMS, J R ; ET AL

The first 100 T non-destructive (100 T ND) magnet and power supplies as currently designed are described. This magnet will be installed as part of the user facility research equipment at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) Pulsed Field Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The 100 T ND magnet will provide a 100 T pulsed field of 5 ms duration (above 90% of full field) in a 15 mm diameter bore once per hour. Magnet operation will be non-destructive. The magnet will consist of a controlled power outer coil set which produces a 47 T platform field inmore »« less

High energy-density experiments for ATLAS

Conference Trainor, R J ; Parsons, W M ; Bartsch, R R

Atlas is a high-energy pulsed-power facility under development at Los Alamos National Laboratory to drive high-energy density experiments. It is optimized for materials properties and hydrodynamics experiments under extreme conditions. The system is designed to implode heavy liner loads with a peak current of 30--40 MA delivered in {approximately}4 {micro}s. Atlas will be operational in near the end of 2000 and is designed to provide 100 shots per year. The Atlas capacitor bank consists of an array 240-kV Marx modules storing a total of 24-MJ. For many applications the Atlas liner will be a nominal 50-gram-aluminum cylinder with {approximately}5-cm radiusmore »« less
Overview of the Atlas project

Conference Trainor, R J ; Ballard, E O ; Bartsch, R R

Atlas is a high energy pulsed power facility under development at Los Alamos National Laboratory to perform high energy-density experiments in support of the Department of Energy`s stockpile stewardship responsibility. Its design is optimized for materials properties and hydrodynamics experiments under extreme conditions. Atlas will be operational in late-1999 and is designed to provide 100 shots per year. The Atlas capacitor bank design consists of a 36-MJ array of 240-kV Marx modules. The system is designed to deliver a peak current of 45--50 MA with a 4--5 {micro}s risetime. The Marx modules are designed to be reconfigured to a 480-kVmore »« less

The New High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Dresden: a Pulsed-Field Laboratory at an IR Free-Electron-Laser

Journal Article Pobell, F ; Bianchi, A D ; Herrmannsdoerfer, T ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We report on the construction of a new high magnetic field user laboratory which will offer pulsed-field coils in the range (60 T, 500 ms, 40 mm) to (100 T, 10 ms, 20 mm) for maximum field, pulse time, and bore diameter of the coils. These coils will be energized by a modular 50 MJ/24 kV capacitor bank. Besides many other experimental techniques, as unique possibilities NMR in pulsed fields as well as infrared spectroscopy at 5 to 150 {mu}m will be available by connecting the pulsed field laboratory to a nearby free-electron-laser facility.

Initial design for an experimental investigation of strongly coupled plasma behavior in the Atlas facility

Conference Munson, C P ; Benage, Jr, J F ; Taylor, A J ; ...

Atlas is a high current ({approximately} 30 MA peak, with a current risetime {approximately} 4.5 {micro}sec), high energy (E{sub stored} = 24 MJ, E{sub load} = 3--6 MJ), pulsed power facility which is being constructed at Los Alamos National Laboratory with a scheduled completion date in the year 2000. When operational, this facility will provide a platform for experiments in high pressure shocks (> 20 Mbar), adiabatic compression ({rho}/{rho}{sub 0} > 5, P > 10 Mbar), high magnetic fields ({approximately} 2,000 T), high strain and strain rates ({var_epsilon} > 200%, d{var_epsilon}/dt {approximately} 10{sup 4} to 10{sup 6} s{sup {minus}1}), hydrodynamicmore »« less
