PhD student Adrià Gràcia-Condal from the University of Barcelona came to visit the HLD at the Helmholtz-Zentrum DresdenRossendorf for one month. Funded by EMFL, expenses for travelling and accommodation were supported with a lump-sum payment of 2.000 €. The scientific purpose of the visit was to design, to manufacture, and to assemble a new uniaxial-load cell for the use in pulsed magnetic fields. With the new insert, [...]
COVID-19 Corona virus – EMFL
Due to the increasing rate of COVID-19 (Corona virus) infections world-wide and the travel restrictions introduced by many countries, the European Magnetic Field Laboratory decided to stop its operational activities until further notice. Users that have been scheduled and will be affected by this decision will be rescheduled to a later date. Depending on the development of the situation the schedule will be seriously affected and we will do our best to reschedule projects to our best capabilities. The EMFL Board will decide about the consequences for the next proposal round as well. If you need any further [...]
CEA-IRFU newest member of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) institute of Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe (IRFU) located in Paris-Saclay has joined EMFL, starting December 1st, 2019. The membership is a logical next step in the collaboration of CEA-IRFU and EMFL. Both have already applied together for several EC grants for magnet-technology developments. CEA-IRFU The CEA-IRFU has a longstanding involvement and experience in the development of high-field/high-volume superconducting magnets. CEA-IRFU is, therefore, interested in strengthening its links with the EMFL facilities to develop the next generation of superconducting high-field magnets. Dr. Pierre Vedrine, the head [...]
