Abstract :
The world´s first 12 megawatt resistive magnet will be available to users at NHMFL-FSU during the first quarter of 1994. The magnet will generate an on-axis field of 27 T in a 32 mm warm bore. The magnet consists of three concentric Bitter stacks with axial cooling. Optimal geometries, materials, and power distribution were determined by a constrained optimization program written by S. Prestemon
