Pulsed magnet system at MLF in J-PARC

Watanabe, Masao  ; Nojiri, Hiroyuki*

Magnetic field acts directly on the spin and the orbital motion of electron in the material and interesting quantum phenomena and phase transition are found in high magnetic field. Recently, experimental equipments using neutron beams in high magnetic field have been rapidly developed. For example, superconducting DC magnet up to 17 T has developed for neutron scattering experiments. Although the sample environment team in the MLF have several DC superconducting magnets up to 7 T as a sample environment apparatus, some users have requested the preparation of higher field magnets. However, another magnet technology is needed to generate higher than 20 T. However, it is difficult to construct such a large system in the MLF from the point of view of construction space. It is practical to employ a pulsed magnetic field as it enables operation of smaller energy as well as downsizing of the instruments. Therefore, we have been developed a compact and movable pulsed magnet system up to 30 T.
