A significant milestone in the application of superconducting magnets for large accelerators was reached on June 2nd 1 983 when the Tevatron at Fermilab transported the first beam in its giant superconducting ring. This machine, which extends over 6 km and contains 1000 superconducting magnets, is t

โฆ Synopsis
High energy physics experiments on the latest generation colliding beam machines require large superconducting solenoid magnets. The Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is developing a new generation of high current density (~ 109 A m -2) superconducting solenoid magnets which are thin from a radiation standpoint. To meet our design objectives, an integrated magnet and cryostat design has been evolved. Recent tests of one metre diameter prototype magnets show that our design concepts are technically viable. The results of the one metre magnet test are reported here.

A formalism for obtaining the shape parameters of a solenoid magnet with minimum inductance and excellent field homogeneity is presented. Numerical results are presented for four geometries: viz., the simple solenoid, the split-pair solenoid, the sixth-order inside-notch solenoid and the sixth-order
Forced-cooled superconductors are viewed as a promising alternative in the development of high field superconducting magnets for future fusion devices. The high current density cabled superconductor is protected against thermal instabilities by forcing (single phase) supercritical helium through the
The large superconducting detector magnets used for high energy physics experiments are virtually all indirectly cooled. In general, these detector magnets are not cryogenically stabilized. Therefore, there are a number of choices for cooling large indirectly cooled detector magnets. These choices i
