3. Status and Highlights of the DC Field User Program as of summer 2010, mid-point in current award period FlexTime has provided 30% more magnet time while holding overall energy usage constant via energy budget for user. Improved grounding, shielding, instrumentation has improved user signal to noise. Ground floor in mK lowered with shielding, less RF interference. Now NMR experiments have the same resolution as in other areas at the NHMFL. Advanced cryogenics has increased user effectiveness. Users spend less time waiting for temperature to stabilize and have less lost time with cryogenic problems. Power supplies upgraded to 14 MW. Interphase and filter inductors still being optimized. Improved reliability, noise and performance.
