	Superconducting magnets in particle accelerators
		Superconducting magnets are used as beam transport magnets because they have the advantages of higher fields with smaller size than conventional magnets.
		Superconducting magnets cost a lot more than, for instance, supplying the field with a resistive water-cooled copper conductors, but running costs are a lot lower and since bubble chambers operate continuously the superconducting magnet becomes more economical.
		Superconducting magnets with their high field compared to conventional iron core magnets can reduce the circumference needed for an accelerator or replacing conventional magnets with them can increase the energies of existing accelerators.

	Thermoelectric method and apparatus for charging superconducting magnets - Patent 5565763
		Superconducting magnet coils are wound from a superconducting material, such as niobium-titanium, and placed in a cryogenic dewar to cool the coil below the critical temperature at which the coil becomes superconducting.
		With present superconducting materials such as niobium-titanium alloys, the coils must be cooled with liquid helium, while the so-called high temperature superconductors such as YBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7 have higher critical temperatures, allowing cooling with liquid nitrogen.
		While these systems are very effective in charging very large, fixed, magnets such as the Superconducting Supercollider dipole magnets, they are undesirable for use in mobile systems, such as those used with magnetically levitated trains or space applications where the cost of launching the additional weight of a charging system is prohibitive.

		At the meetings, researchers have been fine-tuning design proposals, developing a better sense of what such a collider might reveal, and working to avoid some of the traps the Superconducting Supercollider fell into a decade ago.
		They are building the case for a linear collider in anticipation of a larger meeting of American and international physicists this summer in Snowmass, Colo. At that meeting, sponsored by the American Physical Society, advocates of a variety of collider proposals will present their best arguments for their proposals to the larger community of physicists.
		Researchers who favor the linear collider proposal are hoping to earn the approval of the subpanel and the physics community at large by working to keep the costs of their proposal down, staying away from problems that sank the Superconducting Supercollider, and showing that linear collider can complement the abilities of the LHC.

		It was while Krumhansl was president-elect of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1987 that he testified before Congress that the supercollider should not be built if the cost would penalize superconductivity research funding.
		Although Krumhansl, who became president of the APS in 1989, was not speaking for the society, his words carried great weight with Congress, which in 1993 halted the project after14 miles of tunneling were completed and two billion dollars spent.

		On January 29, the Cabinet and the White House Domestic Council approved the construction of a Superconducting SuperCollider (SSC), a 20 TeV proton accelerator in the form of a ring no less than 52 miles in circumference.
		Protons are heavy, positively charged nuclear particles; the nucleus of (ordinary) hydrogen consists of one proton.
		As the protons are accelerated in the ring, their energy increases with the square of the velocity; after traversing 52 miles under constant acceleration, they attain an energy of 20 tera-electron-volts per particle, an energy far above any hitherto attained by man-made means.
