AN OVERVIEW OF THE 45-T HYBRID MAGNET SYSTEM FOR THE NEW NATIONAL-HIGH-MAGNETIC-FIELD-LABORATORY

The new National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) at Tallahassee , Florida is committed to putting into operation in 1995 a 45-T Hybrid Magnet System to support research in steady, high magnetic fields. Th is facility will be accessible by qualified users world-wide on the ba sis of proposal and review. The more prominent components of this syst em will be a 24-MW resistive insert and a 120-MJ superconducting outse rt. But successful achievement of the performance goals for the 45-T H ybrid System will depend on a number of unique, state-of-the-art subsy stems and components. This paper describes the requirements and specif ications on the individual subsystems and components in the context of the overall performance goals and reviews the plan for putting the wh ole together.
