2 64 - Superconducting Magnets

Institution:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

Covers design, manufacture, and operation issues of superconducting magnets for major engineering applications in biomedical science (NMR/MRI), high energy physics (dipole/quadrupole/detector), and electric power (motor/transformer/transmission cable). Begins with a review of superconductivity and its applications and electromagnetic theory. Topics include field analyses, mechanical and thermal stress analyses, stability analyses and protection design, cryogenics, experimental techniques, and harmonic analyses and active-passive shimming for NMR/MRI magnets.
