Abstract :
The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory has put forward proposals for building a large mirror fusion experiment called MX (Mirror Experiment). This machine is designed to advance both the physics of mirror systems and the technologies which will be required on future machines such as FERF (Fusion Engineering Research Facility) and reactors. One such technology to benefit is superconductivity, since the confining field will be generated by two large NbTi Yin-Yang shaped coils. The maximum field at the conductor is 7.5 T and the total stored energy is 500 MJ. The paper gives details of the magnet system conceptual design including the design philosophy of the superconductor and the structure to restrain the very large electromagnetic forces.
