Superconducting Magnetic Calibration Source for Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD) Operations.

Abstract

A superconducting solenoid was designed, built and tested to demonstrate the feasibility of using this type of device as a calibration source for Magnetic Anomaly Detection operations. A description of the dewar system required for such a solenoid is also described. The magnetic moment of the solenoid which was 48 cm in outer diameter, was 150,000 ampere-turns-meter squared.
