Abstract
The Magnet Laboratory of the Department of Physics of Illinois Institute of Technology, in conjunction with the Explosives Research Laboratory of the Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute, is constructing a pulse-implosion facility for the production of multimegagauss magnetic fields. The principle used increases field strength by holding magnetic flux constant while the area available to the field is decreased. The procedure is to set up an initial transitory magnetic field, typically about 100 kG maintained over a few microseconds, in a solenoid which is contained in a cylindrical jacket having explosives in its walls. When the field is present, the explosives are triggered to compress the jacket and provide the necessary space contraction.
