Design and Testing of a Dual 8-T 380-mm/12-T 220-mm Split Superconducting Solenoid for ORNL

摘要

A superconducting high field magnet facility has recently been prepared for operation at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The facility consists of a background NbTi coil and an insert coil made of Nb sub 3 Sn tape. The background coil produces an 8-T central field, with a peak field of 8.8 T, in a bore of 380 mm and contains radial access ports of 67-mm diam. Details of magnet design both for the background coil and insert coil will be presented. The protection scheme will be discussed and test results will be given. (ERA citation 06:020676)
