STATUS OF THE NHMFL 60-TESLA QUASI-CONTINUOUS MAGNET

All components of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory's Nation al High (NHMFL) 60 T quasicontinuous magnet pre now under construction , with complete delivery and installation expected in early 1996, This research magnet has a cold bore of 32 rum and will produce a constant 60 tesla for 100 ms plus a wide variety of other pulse shapes such as linear ramps, steps, crowbar decays, and longer flat-tops at lower fi elds, Fabrication and testing of prototype coils are described along w ith the layout, construction status, and protection philosophy of the 400 MW power supply, Examples of simulated pulse shapes pre shown.
