Ever increasing liquid helium (LHe) price has pushed
researchers to design background magnets that could
operate in conduction cooling mode. High Tc
superconductor e.g. MgB
2
is
a promising candidate for conduction cooled magnet. But
high strain sensitivity of MgB
2
wire
could be a limiting factor in designing a whole body MRI
magnet of 1.5T or higher. In this work, strain
sensitivity of an optimized 1.5T conduction cooled MgB
2
MRI
magnet is numerically studied. The stress and strains
behavior of the design shows viability of building such
conduction cooled magnet.
