Pulsed magnets are very important for materials research.
Recently relocated into a new, specially designed Experimental Hall, the Pulsed Field Facility can accommodate extensive user operations and support. They use a combination of high strength-high conductivity conductors and very high strength reinforcement materials to control the enormous forces caused by the 50 T and 60 T fields produced in these coils. The very high fields are used in experiments on solid state materials. Pulsed magnets reach higher fields than resistive or hybrid magnets, but can stay at field for only short periods of time.
