X-rays can uniquely address fundamental, long-standing questions about the nature of matter in high magnetic fields. Unfortunately, facilities to enable this science are presently lacking.... Until Now.
In partnership between CHESS, the MagLab, and the University of Puerto Rico, the High Magnetic Field Beamline will serve convergence research between two large NSF facilities and train students from UPR to become future technology leaders.
The dedicated High Magnetic Field (HMF) X-ray Beamline at CHESS will be a world-class high-energy X-ray beam- line. It will feature a custom low-temperature superconducting (LTS) magnet generating continuous fields as high as 20 Tesla. The beamline will be designed to accommodate even higher fields from future magnets, which will become feasible as high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology matures.
