Omni-Lampf, Lampf Omni, or just "Lampf", is the third Omni apparatus. When the Omni magnet short-circuited a second time, R. Heffner kindly provided the magnet and stand which had enjoyed a career in µSR at Los Alamos. It has since been fitted with transverse coils and three standard tables for counters and cryostats. The available gap between the coils, inside the support frame, is 4.75 inches. The maximum field provided is 4.0 kG (0.4 T) at 1000A (4.0 A/G), but 1000A are available only in M15, with 750 A provided to other beam areas allowing a field of 3.0 kG (0.3T). Using 1000A in M15 is problematic as well; it depends on the cooling water flow, and thus on the load all around TRIUMF (and only 950 A is possible with decent regulation).
