Abstract
Highly homogeneous and high-field superconducting magnets are difficul t to be designed for its optimal configuration, which has the minimum winding volume. In this paper, we proposed an optimal design method, u tilizing a modified Genetic algorithm, which is newly developed, to re alize the minimum winding volume design for multi-section superconduct ing magnets. The detail of the algorithm and two examples of its appli cation to three-section superconducting magnets are shown.
