Abstract

Present state of the art in tape wound Nb <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> Sn solenoids is the generation of magnetic fields above 15T in clear bore diameters up to 65 mm. Details of the construction and operation of magnets of this type, especially the first one which achieved 15.8T in a 26 mm bore at 4.2K are given. The operation of this solenoid at reduced temperatures in a pumped helium bath is described. The solenoid was operated at various temperatures to below 3K where a maximum field of 16.5T was observed, limited only by mechanical strength. The prospect of achieving even higher fields at 4.2K and lower temperatures is discussed in terms of the properties of Nb <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> Sn and practical design considerations.
