Description
The hybrid superconducting resistive magnet (M8) in Grenoble has reached an important milestone in 2024 : 42T was reached in a cold bore of 34mm. The first experiments are planned in 2025.
The experimental setup which had allowed to reach this important milestone will be described, as well as the tests which were done in the commissioning phase. This hybrid magnet is planned to be integrated in future in the use of EMFL (European Magnetic Field Laboratory) possibly in 2026.
In 2024, the maximum electric power was also increased from 24MW to 30MW, with the implementation of a new electric line with a new dedicated 225kV transformer which will allow to reach new opportunities of high magnetic field in Grenoble. With these two new realizations in Grenoble, new scientific opportunities in high magnetic field science will be possible in a near future.
In parallel, a very important activity concerns the increase of efficiency in term of the use of energy, as well as the investments, translated into greenhouse gas emission, with the objective to be one of the best place in the world in term of greenhouse gas efficiency for the use and the construction for resistive magnets.
