Superconducting Magnets and Cryogenics

Several significant superconducting beam line magnet systems are being constructed in the U.S. These will demonstrate the practicability of superconductors in beam lines. It is now time to consider some of the more subtle engineering problems associated with these magnets in order to assure a "next generation" of highly usable magnets. This paper presents some engineering approachs to better magnets for the future.
