hybrid magnet

[′hī·brəd ′mag·nət] (cryogenics) A type of superconducting magnet consisting of a large-bore NbTi (niobium-titanium) external coil, which provides an external field of about 5 teslas, and an inner Nb3Sn (niobium-tin) coil which provides additional field strength. (electromagnetism) An air-cooled magnet consisting of a large-volume superconducting magnet surrounding a water-cooled normal-conductor magnet that operates at the highest field.
