New Megagauss Laboratory of ISSP at Kashiwa

New facilities for megagauss field generation have been built at the Megaga uss Laboratory (MGL) of the Institute for Solid State Physics in the new ca mpus of the University of Tokyo at Kashiwa. The MGL moved from the old camp us at Roppongi to the new campus in 1999. The new facilities include those for electromagnetic flux compression, the single-turn coil technique, and n on-destructive long-pulse magnets with installation of several different ca pacitor banks. The new facilities aim at producing very high pulsed fields in the megagauss range, up to 750 T and applying them to a variety of exper iments for solid-state physics. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
