RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Coil geometry of 9T solenoid

In another effort, in November BN
successfully tested a 9T solenoid
under cryogen-free conditions at
4K up to nominal current without
any training quench, reaching a
magnetic field slightly above 9T.
The 96 mm cold bore magnet with
NbTi conductor was designed for
a homogeneity of 0.1% in 10 mm
DSV (diameter of spherical volume). Possible applications are for
sample environment, nanotechnology and quantum computing.

Solenoids and functional magnet systems are used in neutron research, for sample tests
in magnetic fields as well as
on accelerators. BN designs
such magnet systems according to the customer specification and supplies complete
Fringe field of 9T solenoid
systems with the relevant power
supply units, vacuum technology and cryotechnology as needed.

Other projects

BN also recently developed,
manufactured and delivered a
large-volume magnetic storage
device for ultra-cold
neutrons to Technical
University of Munich,
it reported in June.
The superconducting magnet system
is for the university's
PENeLOPE (Precision Experiment on
the Neutron Lifetime
Operating with Proton
Extraction) project to
measure the lifetime
Superconducting magnet system
of the free neutron
for PENeLOPE
with unprecedented
accuracy.

teins and protein complexes, allowing highly radiation-sensitive
samples to be studied using unprecedented levels of flux.

Australian Synchrotron in Melbourne
The Australian Synchrotron currently houses ten world-class
beamlines covering a broad range of applications including health
and biological sciences, earth and environmental sciences,
advanced materials, engineering and manufacturing, energy and
sustainability science, cultural heritage and archaeology as well
as fundamental physics, chemistry and accelerator science. Under the Bright project, eight more beamlines are being added.
Bilfinger Noell GmbH is a company of Bilfinger SE. Operating
worldwide in the product areas of nuclear service, nuclear technology and magnet technology, it has about 300 employees that
work mainly in the field of engineering.

Also in June, BN was awarded a contract for a
superconducting undulator (SCU) insertion device
from the Australian Synchrotron in Melbourne,
one of the user facilities of ANSTO. The device is
dedicated to the BioSAXS beamline and part of the
new Bright Program. With this new SCU in Australia, superconducting insertion devices from BN will
be in operation on three continents worldwide, the
company notes.
BioSAXS is a high flux beamline for small angle
scattering (SAXS) experiments with applications in
biology, chemistry, material sciences, and other research fields. It will enable the study of nanoscale
chemical and biological systems in solution including surfactant and lipid mesophase systems, prowww.MagneticsMag.com
