Abstract
Flux-trap magnets based on high-temperature superconductors were studied fo r their potential as electron-beam control elements. Applications could inc lude accelerators, klystrons, and mm-wave amplifiers. We have constructed c ompact magnets using bulk YBCO crystals that exhibit axial fields of 1.0 - 1.2 T at operating temperatures from 65K to 77K, Transverse fields and fiel d stability have also been measured. Finally, methods and mechanisms involv ed in pulse-charging the superconducting rings will be discussed.
