Design Study of High Field Resistive Magnets for Diffraction Experiments

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), and the Institut Laue Langevin neutron facility (ILL) in collaboration with the Laboratoire National des Champs Magne?tiques Intenses (LNCMI-CNRS) have performed during 2008 a design study for the implementation of continuous high magnetic fields suitable for diffraction studies. Two main designs have been studied: a horizontal field magnet suitable for back scattering and absorption experiments and a split magnet.
