Three magnets experts Dr. Jos Perenboom, Dr. Frans Wijnenand and Andries den Ouden from the Nijmegen High Field Magnet Laboratory (HFML), visited the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CHMFL) from Oct. 26 to 28.

During their visit, they were very impressed by the  five resistive magnets independently developed by the scientists and technicians in CHMFL, particularly, WM1, WM4 and WM5, the three world-record-setting water-cooled magnets. They also viewed some other instrumentation and equipments carefully on site and presented two talks in CHMFL.

Scientists and technicians of the two high magnetic field laboratories  exchanged their ideas and experiences as well as the latest achievements of both parties. The three experts discussed some of the detailed technology on the construction of the 45T Hybrid Magnet with the staff members of the superconducting research group during their stay.

“I think it is a very good opportunity for key staff members of the two laboratories to get to know each other better and strengthen the collaboration.” Said Dr. Perenboom, who has had more than 30 years working experiences on the high magnetic field. This is his third visit to CHMFL in the past few years.

The HFML is a large European Research Infrastructure and a Dutch national research facility. As an international facility, HFML uses and develops high magnetic field to carry out pioneer scientific research by in-house and external users. Over the past few decades, scientists from all over the world have made remarkable achievements in HFML, especially the experimental device of the free electron laser has been unique in the world.
