Strongest superconducting magnet installed in Japan
DOI: 10.1063/1.3023513
A 175‐kG superconducting magnet was recently installed at the Japanese National Research Institute for Metals in Tsukuba Science City, an hour’s ride from Tokyo. Built by Intermagnetics General Corp of Guilderland, New York, the magnet is the highest‐field completely superconducting magnet in the world. The previous record, established two years ago, was held by an IGC magnet with a field of 158 kG, built for the Mullard Cryogenic Laboratory at Oxford University.
