Abstract

Research areas such as particle physics and solid-state physics have been vital fields for high-current applications of superconductivity since the 1960s. Superconducting magnet technology, as well as the technology of NbTi- and Nb3Sn-multifilament conductors, have undergone major advances due to challenging projects in these research areas. The applications introduced in this article concern particle-detector magnets, accelerator magnets and high-field solenoids.
