In the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), a nonmagnetic space is required in the Spacecraft Magnetic Test Site (SMTS) to measure mainly magnetic moments of spacecrafts. This is realized by means of the main coil of a three-axis Braunbek system combined with a nonmagnetic noise source space (NMNSS) of which the radius from SMTS is more than 300 m. A magnetically shielded room was not installed. Direct-current (dc) magnetic disturbance due to buildings in the earth magnetic field and alternating-current (ac) disturbances due to human activities can decay sufficiently in such a large space. This paper describes dc magnetic disturbance due to a tall building, which is planned inside NMNSS. First, a method of analysis for three-dimensional magnetic field computation was verified by investigating the distribution of magnetic disturbance due to buildings of steel and concrete structure, which exist in NASDA. Secondly, magnetic disturbance 1 due to the planned tall building was discussed. It was found that magnetic field concentrates at the core part of the top floor as an inlet and the office part of lower floors as an outlet. Consequently, considerably large 1 with positive value was observed around them and 1 with negative value was widely spread. 1 at SMTS was 60 nT. When the height of the tall building was shortened to half, 1 was reduced by two-thirds. This change may correspond to the difference of total surface area between them.Index Terms-Magnetic disturbance due to a building, magnetic moment, National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), nonmagnetic space, spacecraft, three-dimensional (3-D) magnetic field analysis.
A jig is described that was used to form high Tc superconductor bulk wigglers (undulators) for intense electron beams. The wigglers are one of novel applications of Supertrons (lenses for charged particle beams) that were previously proposed and demonstrated by the authors.
In the present letter, high Tc bulk superconductor wigglers were proposed as one of the novel applications of high Tc superconductor lenses (Supertrons). Their operation was also shown experimentally. The bismuth-based bulk superconductor wiggler had sinusoidal surfaces with a period length of 35 mm and an amplitude of 2 mm. The wiggler deflected intense electron beams of 340 keV, 1 kA, and 10 ns of duration time with an amplitude of about 1.5 mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
