SM18 SC magnets test facility (CERN)
ffers testing on superconducting magnets and devices refrigerated at low temperatures and high currents. Test subjects can be cooled with LHe and/or LN2 to temperatures ranging from 1.9K up to 80K, and can be powered up to currents as high as 20 kA.
- An area regrouping three vertical cryostats with a capacity of up to 30kA at 1.9K; this area is typically used for research and development projects,
- The second area regroups it horizontal benches which have a powering capacity of 20kA, and a secondary parallel powering circuit of up to 2kA. This area is used to test magnets of the Large Hadron Collider,
- MagNet also includes a cryogen free cryostat, which allows users to test equipment at a range of different temperatures, from 300 and 4.2K.
LASMagLab (KIT)
The installation enables a detailed characterization of the FLUTE and LWFA beam transport magnets. The setup integrates different magnetic measurement techniques:
- 3D hall probe scans,
- stretched-wire and rotating-coil field integral measurements.
