... This would include the costs for basic infractructure, specialized hybrid magnets, and full instrumentation for conducting experiments. A pulsed-field facility similar to NHMFL's laboratory at Los Alamos National Laboratory would cost roughly half this amount.

... Design requirements are further complicated by the need to have the largest possible cur rents, and hence the largest forces, in a small volume near the magnet's central bore. The design of dc magnets is further complicated by the need to use some of the space in the magnet body for the flow of coolants to uniformly counter the heat generated by the currents flowing through the magnet.

... Regular mutual visits ensure the sharing of developments in technology and the layout of new systems. It is therefore not surprising that key parameters of the larger installations, such as the amount of energy stored, the capacitive voltage for pulsed installations, maximum currents and voltages, and the hydraulic parameters in cooling circuits for dc magnets, are rather similar in all the laboratories.

... The laboratory has closely collaborated with LNCMI-G from the time that NHMFL opened. The earliest NHMFL dc magnets were provided by LNCMI-G, while NHMFL later developed its own very suc cessful resistive magnets based on what has come to be known as Florida-Bitter technology.

... The highest dc fields will therefore be produced with hybrid magnets. The operation of hybrid magnets requires the same power supply and cooling as purely resistive dc magnets, but they are operated in combination with a superconducting outer coil.

... As with dc laboratories, the central pulsed facilities will continue to work on magnet technol ogy, provide service to external users, and pursue their own research programs. Recommendations and Conclusion Recommendation: High-field facilities worldwide should be encouraged to collaborate as much as possible to improve the quality of magnets and service for users.
