Here, we report the development of the CICC joint design for the 36-T Series-Connected Hybrid Magnet. A novel solder-less single-box praying-hands joint has been designed to meet the mission of the SCH. A prototype sample joint, Florida Solder-less Joint A (FSJ-A), was manufactured and tested. The low DC resistance confirmed the feasibility of the concept design. In addition, a simple model describing the current transient behavior of the pray-hand joint is presented. A comparison with the experimental data is also included.

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, USA has designed, built and tested a high field, split pair, Repetitively Pulsed Magnet (RPM) suitable for neutron scattering experiments. RPM magnets have the advantage of lower average power and lower construction costs than DC magnets. The NHMFL RPM program intends to build magnets with higher field and larger scattering space than those available elsewhere. Details of design and testing of the first prototype are presented

The authors investigate some options that can improve the design and performance of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) collider quadrupole magnet (CQM). They concentrate on the effect of the CQM magnetic material (yoke) on the design. Among these options are reduction of the amount of iron used; transfer function improvement to match that of the collider dipole magnets (CDM); yoke hysteresis effects; and shaping yoke or inserted magnetic material in the CQM collar to correct for some multipoles. PE2D software and FORTRAN codes were used to conduct the analysis. >

A novel vertically rippled flat coil design concept for superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES) is presented. The coil consists of two or more horizontal layers that are rippled in the vertical direction. The thermal strains of the coil are accommodated by vertical bending and the magnetic forces are taken up by radial bending. The coil is very stiff in the radial direction to transfer magnetic forces to the external warm structure, which causes very small structure bending stresses and results in essentially a strain-free conductor during operation. The vertically rippled coil is very flexible in the vertical direction and accommodates large thermal strains occurring during a cool-down or warm-up process with only small stresses. The impact of this concept upon the SMES design is discussed. >
