Superconducting Magnets

Abstract

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].
