The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in Tallahassee, Florida, USA, continues research and development of transverse field magnets (with the field perpendicular to the access tube). Presently, the emphasis is on a novel approach with concentric nested coils tilted at an angle to the central axis; current flows in opposite directions within the coils at opposite tilt angle, generating a transverse dipole field. Superconducting tilted coils using wire-wound technology and resistive tilted coils using advanced technology are being examined. Some very preliminary, conceptual designs and magnetic field calculations are presented. Related problems, including behavior under the Lorentz forces are discussed briefly.Index Terms-Dipole magnet, nondestructive repetitively pulsed magnet, superconducting winding, transverse field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
