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 [...]
HFML-FELIX USER MEETING
Directly after the opening of the new combined building the first HFML-FELIX User Meeting took place. Local research groups, external users and other interested scientists exchanged experiences and the latest scientific news. The aim was to bring the high field and free electron laser communities together and inform both scientific research areas about the possibilities of the facility. During this lively and inspiring user meeting, new ideas were born, suggestions were made and connections between the different fields were established. The meeting was well received by the community and hopefully enables new ground-breaking experiments using the intense radiation [...]
