| Abstract | This award supports the installation and testing of a 20 Tesla superconducting magnet at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). Since 2021, CHESS and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) have worked together to create a new facility to study the properties of materials in high magnetic fields using x-rays – the High Magnetic Field (HMF) beamline at CHESS. The construction of both the x-ray beamline (at CHESS) and the unique magnet (by commercial vendors, jointly overs |
