Abstract :
The excellent properties of the new MIT cable-in-conduit conductor have made possible the design of a retrofit-scale superconducting MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) magnet using a momentless force containment structure. The authors describe the magnet design and compare its weight, cost, and manufacturing logistics with the prior art pool-cooled designs. The magnet system has a peak on-axis field of 4.5 T, has an aperture of 0.8×1.0 m at the inlet end of the magnet and 1.3×1.6 m at the outlet end, and has stored energy of ~490 MJ
