Superconducting Magnets: Course Description
What are large superconductor magnets used for? The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s School of Engineering in Cambridge, Massachusetts, provides an OpenCourseWare that answers just that question. Through reviews of superconductor magnets that include design, operational issues, instabilities and magnetic disturbances, students learn how electromagnets conduct energy and their advantages and drawbacks. The practical application of superconducting magnets is also covered. Students will learn to calculate and analyze the limitations of these magnets. Students discover the factors that make superconducting magnets unstable, unreliable and identify potential ways to solve these problems. MIT Professors Yukikazu Iwasa and Joseph Minervini teach this course about superconducting magnets, their uses and limitations.
Lectures, notes and assignments, including non-textbook problems, are available online. There is also a list of suggested course readings. To take this course, visit the superconducting magnets course page.
