Research abstract
Our overall goal for this project is to develop the technologies necessary for fabrication of efficient cryogen-free superconducting magnets that can operate at temperatures of 6-10K. In the Phase I program, we will demonstrate that an efficient solenoid magnet system may be built using small diameter Nb3Sn wires employing the react-then-wind approach. As a part of this work we will fabricate an efficient 3T magnet with an operating current of 8A and an operating temperature of 10K. The magnet will be tested and then used by NASA in an ongoing R&D in the area of Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigeration.
