magnet surveyEva Bezgousko2023-01-12T13:15:53+00:00
What are the objectives of this survey ?
Our aim is to establish a roadmap for the development of new magnets based on the needs of our users.
How long is the survey and what if I am only interested in very specific magnet types ?
There are no mandatory parts. Participants may skip magnets and magnet categories at their convenience. Navigation buttons and intermediate tables of contents are provided to facilitate a rapid completion of relevant parts.
How is the survey organized ?
The survey lists potentially interesting magnets organized in 4 categories. Participants are invited to choose magnets that are essential for their research and rate the importance of specific parameter values by selecting one of the options; useful, important or extremely important.
What if the magnet I want doesn’t appear in the list ?
A text field at the end of the survey permits additional suggestions. Alternatively, participants may send their ideas tomagnets.survey@lncmi.cnrs.fr
Is the survey anonymous ?
Participants are asked to enter their scientific domain at the end of the document. It is also possible to leave your name, institution and e-mail address but there is no obligation to do so. This survey does not contain any trackers, please make sure to press the "submission" button in order to save your answers.

PART 1 : STANDARD GEOMETRY MAGNETS AT THE EMFL FACILITIES
CATEGORIES
- DC Magnets : 30-60 T
- Pulsed magnets: 60 - 100 T with 10-100 ms duration
- Megagauss magnets > 100 T with sub-millisecond duration

Required maximum field
Additional information
- 30-40 T: target range for standard resistive or superconducting user magnets with normal access capacity.
- 40-50 T: target range of current hybrid projects; limited access capacity for users (1 magnet per facility).
- > 50 T: possible future project requiring a multi-national effort; limited access capacity for users (1 or 2 magnets worldwide).
Required temperature
Required sample space
Additional information
Specifications for sample space and temperature are used to estimate the smallest winding / bore diameter that the magnet can have. If you are not sure about sample space, please use the comment box below to let us know about the experiments you want to perform.
Special requirements
Persistent mode operation
Tell us more about...
- ... the type(s) of experiment(s) you intend to perform with DC magnets with standard geometry ;
- ... specifications for homogeneity, noise level, fast ramping, persistent mode operation (if applicable) ;
- ... any other requirement for this class of magnets.
Pulsed Magnets : 60 - 100 T with 10 - 100ms duration
Required maximum field
Additional information
- 60-70 T: standard monolithic magnets with smooth profile (sinusoidal rise, exponential decay) in the 100 ms range.
- 70-90 T: multi-coil magnets with ∼10 ms useful pulse duration around Bmax ; the superposition of pulses from nested magnets creates discontinuities in B(t).
- >90 T: multi-coil magnets with ∼10 ms useful pulse duration around Bmax ; the superposition of pulses from nested magnets creates discontinuities in B(t) (kinks) and dB/dt (jumps); shots above 90 T may require special justification to protect coils from unnecessary fatigue.

Special requirements
Additional information
Short- and long-pulse magnets are important for certain measurements where dB/dt is either beneficial (e.g. inductive measurements) or problematic (e.g. specific heat). Note that longer pulse durations result in substantially longer cool-down times.
Tell us more about...
- ... the type(s) of experiment(s) you intend to perform in pulsed magnets with standard geometry ;
- ... specifications for homogeneity or pulse duration (if applicable) ;
- ... any other requirements for this class of magnets.
Megagauss magnets: > 100 T with sub-millisecond duration
Required maximum field
Additional information

Magnets with extra-wide bore
Field-bore preference for DC wide-bore magnets
Additional information
Indicate here the maximum field and the room temperature bore diameter that are closest to your needs. (The room-temperature bore takes into account space occupied by equipment used for cooling the magnet but not any cryostats or furnaces necessary for the experiment.) Magnets with 370, 600 and 800 mm refer to the possible use of the outer coils of hybrid magnet systems that are currently under construction ; other magnets would require separate developments ; a magnet producing 30 T in 50 mm bore exists.
Field-bore preference for pulsed wide-bore magnets
Additional information
Indicate here the maximum field and the room-temperature bore diameter that are closest to your needs. (The room-temperature bore takes into account space occupied by equipment used for cooling the magnet but not any cryostats or furnaces necessary for the experiment.). Note that pulsed wide-bore magnets have longer pulse durations (>100 ms) and substantially longer cool-down times.
Tell us more about...
