In one millisecond, light travels from Geneva, Switzerland to Genoa, Italy. And for a magnet in the ILC positron source, a millisecond is the length of time it must remain strong enough to focus […]
The millisecond challenge of the flux-concentrating magnet
Scientists complete the design of a crucial component of the ILC positron source, the flux-concentrating magnet.
