Fabrication of the Nb₃Sn/Cu CICC Coil and Cold Mass for the Radboud University HFML 45 T Hybrid Magnet

Abstract

The High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Nijmegen has been collaborating with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in Florida on a 45 T hybrid magnet project. The primary scope of the collaboration was the design and manufacture of the hybrid magnet's superconducting cold mass. The 7.5 ton cold mass includes a single 13 T solenoid wound with high J C RRP Nb 3 Sn/Cu cable-in-conduit conductor. The coil will be forced flow supercritical helium and operated in parallel with a set of Bitterdisk resistive coils. Coil winding, reaction heat treatment, epoxy impregnation, and cold mass assembly has been completed at the NHMFL. The full cold mass has been delivered to Radboud University and will be assembled with the cryostat and interfaced with the system utilities.
