Abstract :
The performance of a flux concentrator using an YBCO oxide superconductor was tested to raise the steady state magnetic field generated by the existing magnet. This concentrator was composed of an outside hollow cylinder and a pair of half cylinders that goes in and out in the outside cylinder. This flux concentrator generated additional magnetic field more than 1.6 T for an applied magnetic field 28 T.
