Abstract:High field resistive magnets may be built by stacking hundreds of so-called Bitter disks to form a coil. Nowadays, these disks have strongly elongated cooling holes arranged in a staggered pattern. Near the outer diameter of the disks one finds larger holes, round or flattened, to accommodate a tie-rod. These tie-rods assist in the assembly of the coils and are usually pretensioned to ensure a net compressive clamping force on the coil. However, at high fields, the axial magnetic forces toward the center of th… Show more
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.
