Superconducting Magnets in High-Energy Physics

Large-scale magnets that dissipate no electrical power are under construction for high-energy physics research

The promise of superconductivity making possible large magnets that dissipate no power is now being realized. Most of the early difficulties have been overcome; hence it is now a straight-forward engineering problem to design and build a large stable supermagnet. The application of such magnets to research in high-energy physics can be expected to grow rapidly in the next few years.
