New Developments at the National Pulsed Field Laboratory in Toulouse

Pulsed-magnet users are requesting higher fields with longer pulse-times in larger bores. This request led logically to user facilities similar to facilities existing for continuous fields. The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnetiques Pulses (LNCMP) in Toulouse (FRANCE) has a user community from all over Europe. We report on current efforts in Toulouse to fulfill the request of users. We developed and tested coils up to 80 T and reduced the cool-down time. Moreover, we created special design installations: a transportable pulsed-field installation to be used at other large instruments and coils with optimized field profiles for optical experiments. We are currently investigating the sources of noise on our fields and have successfully tested a preliminary method to reduce this noise.
