  1. EuroMagNETII and beyond, Status and perspectives of high magnetic field research in Europe G. Rikken, LNCMI, France Introduction EuroMagNETII; Status EuroMagNETII; Future Long term perspectives; EMFL

  2. Summary international high field activities/projects

  3. Performance of the European high field laboratories HLD, HFML, LNCMP, LCMI 2002-2008: 1100 access proposals, 1200 publications Less than half of the European access is funded by the EC. The ensemble of the European facilities is smaller but more efficient than the NHMFL

  4. EuroMagNET2 FP7-Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3) A coordinated approach to access, experimental development and scientific exploitation of all European large infrastructures for high magnetic fields, successor to EuroMagNET1 (2005-2008) Start date 1/1/2009, coordinator G. Rikken

  9. EuroMagNETII TNA program TransNational Access* since 1/1/2009 * Projects with non-national european principal investigators, EU funded

  10. News from the EuroMagNETII facilities: Administrative The GHMFL and the LNCMP have been merged on 1/1/2009 into the Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses The HLD (as part of FZD) will transfer into the Helmholtz Gesellschaft The HFML (as part of NCAS) is negotiating to become a Dutch national facility High magnetic fields are gaining in weight!

  11. News from the EuroMagNETII facilities: Installations LNCMI-G now provides 35 T in 34 mm, 36 T being tested soon HLD has reached a European record with 87,2 T, now building a 90+ T coil A long pulse coil (2 s) has reached 50 T, designed up to 60 T. LNCMI-T now offers 71 T, 12 mm user field, and 80 T, 6 mm prototype A 30 T transverse field over 50 cm length has been sucessfully tested. EuroMagNET facilites are rapidly increasing their performance!

  12. News from the EuroMagNETII facilities: Instrumentation HLD is rapidly installing new setups: - electrical transport (recently with a resolution of about 0.02%) - magnetization - ESR (also with free electron laser) - ultrasound - magnetostriction - cyclotron resonance (also with free electron laser) - NMR spin echo (first test experiments successful) LNCMI-T is performing elastic neutron scattering experiments up to 30 T at the ILL. A setup for contactless resistivity measurements and magnetostriction have been put into service. LNCMI-G is now performing 34 T NMR with 50 ppm resolution. Setup for Nernst effect operationnal in 35 T.

  13. News from the EuroMagNETII facilities: Instrumentation HFML 1) Single dot spectroscopy up to 33T with scanning confocal microscope at 330mK 2) Fourier spectroscopy in FIR working with all optical transmission and temperatures between 1.2K and 100K. 3) New vibrating magnetometer in variable temperature insert and 100* higher signal to noise compared to extraction 4) Working 180° rotator in 35mK dilfridge New instrumentation is become available to the EM2 users Requests for other instrumentation are welcome!

  14. Community building: Websitewww.euromagnet2.eu Thematic workgroups with funding for workshops Euromagnet School: september 2010 Topical courses: THz spectroscopy (2011) X ray & neutron scattering (2012) Secondments: 2 weeks - 6 months stays, any subject related to high fields EuroMagNEWS: published quarterly (paper, online, email) relaying all developments of interest to european high field users. Contributions are welcome (highlights, vacancies, announcements…)!! Online Forum: not yet active

  15. Calendar EM2

  16. Beyond EuroMagNETII The official policy of the EU-Research Directorat is that ‘mature’ I3s, like EuroMagNET, will not be eligible for future funding, but should be transformed into multinational ‘Research Infrastructure Consortia’ LNCMI, HLD and HFML will no longer be funded for giving access to non-national users (currently over 1M€/y) Starting 2013, EuroMagNET has be transformed into a French-Dutch-German-??? Research Infrastructure Consortium

  17. A new legal form for European research infrastructures: ERIC • European Research Infrastructure Consortium (22/6/2009) • International organization, ruled by European and host country law • legal person with statutory seat, limited liability • At least three Member states or intergovernmental organizations • to establish and operate research infrastructures • VAT and public supply rule exemptions • proposed by the partners, attributed by EC • and lots more……

  18. ESFRI project ‘ European Magnetic Field Laboratory’ (EMFL) Ultimate aim: offer european scientists the same possibilities as their american colleagues in high field research. 1) Improve the efficiency of the 4 european facilities through coordination and collaboration 2) Increase the human and financial resources of the 4 facilities 3) Specificity for Grenoble: integration with the high field project of the ESRFI upgrade of ILL and ESRF

  19. ESFRI « The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures was launched in April 2002. It brings together representatives of EU Member States and Associated States, appointed by Ministers in charge of Research, and one representative of the European Commission. The role of ESFRI is to support a coherent approach to policy-making on research infrastructures in Europe, and to act as an incubator for international negotiations about concrete initiatives. «  • - First ESRFI Roadmap in 2005, updated in 2008, next update 2010 • So far 240 projects submitted, 44 accepted on the Roadmap Status: projet ‘EMFL’ submitted in September 2007 to ESFRI, accepted on the Roadmap in December 2008. Next step: Call for Preparatory Phase Proposals FP7-INFRA-2010-2.2.9; ‘Creation of the EMFL’, deadline December 3rd 2009.

  20. 1) Collaboration and coordination EMFL-T: Magnet materials research Mobile pulsed fields Megagauss (100-250 T single shot) pulsed EMFL-D : Spectroscopy THz (with FELBE) 100 Tesla non-destructif EMFL-N: Spectroscopy THZ (FEL under construction) Local nano probing DC EMFL-G: X ray and neutron scattering 50+ Tesla hybrid

  21. 2) Increase the resources of the 4 facilities Upgrade Grenoble-site: 40 MW power supply + cooling circuit 40 M€ 50+ Tesla hybrid magnet 25 M€ Increase annual operating budget 3 M€ Upgrade Toulouse-site Upgrade of the capacitor bank generator with 6 MJ fast modules 5 M€ Extension of the building with fail-proof experimental sites 4 M€ Construction of a small X-ray source 4 M€ Magnet materials research and development centre 1 M€ Increase annual operating budget 1 M€ Upgrade Dresden-site: Extension of the laboratory space for additional user cells 8 M€ Upgrade of the capacitor bank generator for flat top pulsing 5 M€ Extension of the optical beam line to additional magnet cells 1 M€ Increase annual operating budget 1 M€ Upgrade Nijmegen-site: 40T local probe measuring station 25 M€ Upgrade cooling installation to 24hrs/day operation 5 M€ Increase annual operating budget 3 M€ Total investment 123 M€, additionnal annual budget 8 M€

  22. 3) EMFL-G and ILL/ESRF in Grenoble ESRF (X rays source) and ILL (neutron source) want to install a DC high field facility on their beamlines ( 40 MW, >30 T) as part of their upgrades (ESRFI Roadmap 2005); technical feasibility established, investment needed 60 M€. Decision planned end 2010/beginning 2011. Sharing the site, the power supply and the cooling plant between ILL/ESRF et EMFL is under discussion → large reduction of investments for EMFL ESRF ID6 Opportunity/complication! x 1 ID8 EMFL-G2 3 ILL 4 2 5

  23. Feasibility: • Bringing 40 MW to the ILL/ESRF site is possible • Cooling the 40 MW is possible • A 40 Tesla horizontal, longitudinal field is possible • A 30 + Tesla vertical split coil is possible Status of the ILL/ESRF/EMFL project Design study in the context of the ESRF ESRFI Upgrade project Required investment: 35 M€ for power supply, cooling and magnets • Running costs: • 5 M€/y electricity costs for 3800 hours of field • 1 M€/y for coils

  24. Ready-to-sign founding contract The EMFL Preparatory Phase Proposal Identify legal and governance structure Funding of investments and operation, staffing Extension of the EMFL with other partners Roadmap for the technical and scientific evolution of the EMFL Prototyping of new magnets/power supplies/equipment ……..

  25. Structure of the EMFL – P3 Coordinator: JC Maan HFML Deadline: 3/12/2009

  26. Summary: - European high field research is increasing in capabilities and impact - Until 2012 it is supported and stimulated by EuroMagNET2 - From 2013 on, we have to find a new collaboration form that will allow us to continu to progress. This should be a community effort! The facilities are working hard towards this goal, but need the support of their users.
