Popis: The charging coil (C-coil) for the joint Columbia University/MIT Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) is under development jointly by MIT and the Efremov Institute. The NbTi superconducting C-coil serves to charge/discharge inductively the floating superconducting magnet to/from 2277 A when it is resting in the charging port at the bottom of the LDX vacuum vessel. The C-coil is designed for 3200 charge-discharge cycles. The solenoid magnet is installed in a low heat leak liquid helium cryostat with a warm bore of more than 1 m. The magnet protection system has an external dump resistor, which dissipates most of the 12 MJ stored during a quench.
