Summary
This conference paper describes Fermilab's collaborative development of advanced accelerator magnets for future hadron colliders, including successful demonstration of a 15-T niobium-tin dipole magnet and preliminary design studies for higher-performance magnets using high-temperature superconductors. The work introduces the Conductor On Molded Barrel (COMB) technology as a novel approach optimised for high-temperature superconductor applications, representing progress toward next-generation collider readiness.
UK applicability
This paper addresses fundamental physics infrastructure development and is not directly applicable to UK farming systems, soil health, or agricultural nutrition research. It may be of tangential interest to UK particle physics programmes but falls outside the scope of Vitagri's Pulse Brain research remit.
Key measures
Magnet field strength (15 Tesla), aperture diameter (60 mm), superconductor layer configuration (4-layer), conductor technology performance metrics
Outcomes reported
The study reports the fabrication and testing of a 4-layer, 15-T dipole magnet with 60 mm aperture using niobium-tin low-temperature superconductor technology, and presents design studies for high-temperature superconductor magnet optimisation using a novel Conductor On Molded Barrel approach.
