B2. Test stations for normal conducting magnets

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.
