A Large Superconducting Magnetic Shield

Abstract

A large superconducting magnetic shield was designed and constructed to provide a low intensity field in a temperature controllable volume approximately 30 cm (12 in) long by 10.2 cm (4 in) in diameter. Design, construction and operating techniques are discussed and illustrated. This shield was built by the Naval Ordnance Laboratory (NOL) for the NASA Ames Research Center in support of its magnetic sensor research and lunar magnetic field modeling programs.
