The numbers that matter
Cost per kiloamp-meter ($/kA·m)
The price of moving a thousand amps across one meter of conductor. It decides whether a magnet gets built, and it only means something at a stated temperature and field.
Why cost per kiloamp-meter matters
It is the number a program is approved or refused on, and it compares between materials only when the temperature and the field are stated with it.
