The Los Alamos Campus, part of the Pulsed High Magnetic Field Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, delivers world-class training in non-destructive, short-pulse magnet technologies up to 100 Tesla. Courses here target extreme-condition physics, enabling studies of material responses under ultra-high fields for national security and fundamental science applications.
- Pulsed Magnet Design and Operation: This foundational course details the engineering of capacitor-driven pulsed magnets, including coil fabrication, power systems, and destructive testing simulations.
- High-Field Transport Measurements: Participants learn magneto-optical and electrical transport techniques to investigate semiconductors and topological insulators under transient fields.
- Extreme Conditions Physics: Focused on shock-compressed materials, this program covers diamond anvil cell integration with pulsed fields for high-pressure studies.
- Plasma and Fusion Magnetism: Advanced modules on magnetic confinement in fusion research, teaching diagnostics for plasma behavior in megagauss fields.
- Safety and Instrumentation in Pulsed Fields: Critical training on electromagnetic interference mitigation, cryogenic handling, and emergency protocols for high-energy experiments.
Geared toward physicists, engineers, and national lab affiliates, the educational framework includes intensive user schools and proposal-based access to facilities. With emphasis on rapid experimentation cycles, courses foster skills in data acquisition during millisecond pulses, using high-speed detectors and analysis pipelines. Collaborative ties with LANL's weapons programs provide classified modules on materials under stress, while open sessions promote international exchange. Undergraduate involvement through REU programs introduces pulsed field concepts via simplified demos, sparking interest in accelerator physics and geophysics. The curriculum addresses cutting-edge topics like axion detection and heavy-fermion systems, preparing participants for DOE-funded projects. Ethical training on dual-use technologies ensures responsible innovation. Over 500 users yearly benefit from this rigorous program, which not only builds technical expertise but also networks across academia and industry, driving discoveries in quantum materials and energy technologies. The unique pulsed environment teaches adaptability, mirroring real-world high-stakes research demands.
