Case Studies in Superconducting Magnets

The 2nd edition emphasizes two areas not emphasized in the 1st edition: 1) high-temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets; 2) NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) magnets. Despite nearly 40 years of R and D on superconducting magnet technology, most areas, notably fusion and electric power applications, are still

The renaissance of magnet technology started in the early 1950s with the establishment of high-energy accelerators. About a decade later in 1961, or fifty years after the discovery of superconductivity, high-field superconducting laboratory magnets became a reality. Conventional still the major beam-handling and experimen electromagnets, which are tal devices used

High Field Superconducting Magnets provides the reader with a modern, up-to-date professional reference on the physics and technology of superconducting magnets in a period of significant advancements in this area. Its main feature is the combination of theory and practice, with discussions of superconductivity, electromagnetic field theory, and the thermodynamics
