Summary
This paper reports the development of a Nb₃Sn Cable-in-Conduit conductor specifically engineered for the outsert winding of a hybrid dipole magnet intended for a future hadron collider. The CIC design addresses key engineering challenges by managing Lorentz stress at the cable level, enabling small-radius flared ends without wire degradation, and utilising supercritical helium cooling through a perforated centre tube for enhanced stability. The paper describes the cable and coil technologies and demonstrates successful assembly and integration with a REBCO insert within the dipole yoke structure.
UK applicability
