Investigations for Very High Field (to probe the limit of technology)
Vary aperture after the coils are made
a unique feature of this design
Lower separation (aperture)
reduces peak field, increases T.F. => Higher Bss
May not be practical for machine magnet
but an attractive way to address
Determine stress degradation in an actual conductor/coil configuration
Max. stress accumulation at high margin region
When do we really need a stress management scheme (cost and conductor efficiency questions), and how much is the penalty?
Simulate the future (better Jc) conductor
10 mm aperture; Bss=16.2 T, Bpk=16.3 T
