THE MEGAGAUSS FACILITY OF THE HUMBOLDT HIGH MAGNETIC-FIELD CENTER IN BERLIN

We report on concept, realisation, and first experimental results obta ined with the preliminary megagauss equipment of the HUMBOLDT High Mag netic Field Center. The present megagauss set-up is a handy, transport able single-turn coil equipment using only 20% of the capacity of the final installation, i.e. 50 kJ at 60 kV producing about 100 and 200 T in the single-turn coils of 10 and 5 mm diameter, respectively. Test r eports on magnetooptical measurements at low temperature are presented .
