Warm Magnets

Warm magnets are magnets that function in normal ambient temperature conditions. These types are mostly using a soft steel yoke for field amplification and either Copper or Aluminium coils or permanent magnets to generate the field. Magnets powered with such normal-conducting coils are often also called classical, iron dominated or resistive magnets. Since decades these types of magnets are the workhorse for most linear and circular accelerators and beam transfer lines.

Superconducting Magnets

Superconductivity allows to construct and operate magnets at field values beyond 2 Tesla, the practical limitation of normal-conducting magnets exploiting ferro-magnetism. The field of superconducting magnets is dominated by the field generated in the coil. The stored energy and the electromagnetic forces generated by the coil are the main challenges to be overcome in the design of these magnets. For further reading you may consult the following books: [1], [2], [3], [4] or the proceedings of two specialized CAS courses: [5] and [6].

EUCARD magnet development

The FP7-EuCARD work package 7 (WP7), "HFM: Superconducting High Field Magnets for higher luminosities and energies" is a collaboration between 12 European institutes and firms with the objective of developing high field magnet technology. WP7 foresees to construct a 13 T dipole with a 100 mm aperture, a B = 6 T high temperature superconductor (HTS) dipole insert, a superconducting HTS link and a superconducting helical undulator.
