State of the art and developments of high field magnets at the “Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses”

Abstract

The “Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses” (LNCMI) is the result of the merger of the “Laboratoire des Champs Magnétiques Intenses” in Grenoble specialised in the generation of DC magnetic fields and the “Laboratoire National des Champs Pulsés” in Toulouse specialised in the generation of pulsed magnet fields. DC fields of up to 35 T, pulsed fields up to 80 T and single-shot pulsed fields up to 170 T are provided to an international community of users. In the present paper we present the current state of our installations and the developments which are pursued in the context of an increasing international competition.
