Abstract:A study has been conducted on the design of large-bore, superconducting solenoid magnets in an effort to determine how weight and cost scales with field and size. The fields considered ranged from 0.5 to 20 T and bore sizes from 3 to 10 m. the designs are based on light-weight, high-performance superconducting magnet designs using cable-in-conduit niobium-titanium and niobium-tin conductors. All methods to reduce the weight of the magnets are used, and both aluminum and stainless steel are considered for the s… 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.
