Magnet-Technology Development at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory

The Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD) is a user facility which provides scientists with the possibility to perform a broad range of experiments in pulsed magnetic fields. Recent progress in the magnet-technology development at the HLD has led to significant advances in achieving non-destructive pulsed magnetic fields close to the megagauss mark. Using 9.5 MJ dual-coil magnets with 16 mm bore, in 2011 a world-record field of 91.4 T has been achieved. Later 94.2 T have been reached. We report on the magnet design and performance of these magnets as well as on the design for the next generation of dual-coil magnets characterized by interchangeable inner sub-coils and improved control of the axial preload.
