　　Magnet developments at the Paul Scherrer Institute 

The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is the largest research center for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. Cutting-edge research in the fields of matter and materials, energy and environment and human health is performed. In this context PSI operates many research facilities: a 2.4 GeV electron synchrotron to serve the Swiss Light Source SLS, a 590 MeV proton cyclotron to feed the Swiss Muon Source SμS and the Spallation Neutron Source SINQ and a superconducting compact cyclotron accelerating protons until 250 MeV for cancer treatment purpose. The SwissFEL is the last large-scale facility inaugurated in December 2016 at PSI. This free-electron X-ray laser generates extremely short and intense flashes of X-ray radiation of laser quality.  

　　The magnet section at PSI is responsible for the maintenance, the repair, the design, the assembly and the measurements of the magnets in the PSI operating and future research facilities. This talk gives an overview of the magnet section activities and the magnet developments for the next five years. The construction of an infrastructure for the magnet assembly and the tests and the development of magnetic measurements systems will be also highlighted. Recent projects involving superconducting magnets like the superbend in the proposed upgrade of the Swiss Light Source, the combined function magnets for the next generation of gantries and the PSI contribution to the design and the production of a 16 T dipole model magnet for the Future Circular Collider will be overviewed.
