    In this paper, we present a method for determining the appropriate charging current waveform to mitigate the screening current-induced field (SCF) in an NMR class high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet. Screening currents have been observed to cause magnetic field drift in NMR class HTS magnets, leading to a degradation in performance. To address this performance degradation, various...

    The no-insulation (NI) technology is a powerful technique toward very high field generation over 40 T. The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), in 2017, successfully generated a field of 45.5 T, which is the world record for the DC field [1]. The success is attributed to the use of rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) and the NI technology. REBCO conductors can withstand a very...

    Poster

    We report a newly developed room-temperature (RT) shimming method for high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets employing a deep Q-network (DQN), a type of reinforcement learning theory. With only one training session, the shimming control system (agent) learns how to improve the spatial field homogeneity of an HTS magnet and quickly implements the actual shimming process even under...

    In the design of ultrahigh field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) superconducting magnets, it typically requires a high homogeneous magnetic field in the diameter of spherical volume (DSV) to obtain high quality image. Spherical harmonic based B0 shimming relies significantly on the fitting process, which can be computationally demanding, especially when handling a large number of shim coils....
