Summary
This paper presents a preliminary design study of a block-coil superconducting magnet for the International Muon Collider Collaboration's proposed 10 km collider ring. The work addresses the demanding engineering requirements imposed by muon physics—short muon lifetime, need for compact geometry, high magnetic fields, and large apertures—through a combined dipole–quadrupole magnet architecture based on block-coil technology. The contribution encompasses both electromagnetic optimisation and mechanical feasibility assessment.
UK applicability
This is fundamental physics infrastructure research without direct application to UK agricultural, soil health, or food systems practice. It may inform long-term UK participation in international particle physics facilities.
Key measures
Electromagnetic field configuration, magnet aperture dimensions, mechanical stress analysis, superconducting coil block geometry
Outcomes reported
The study presents a preliminary 2D electromagnetic and mechanical design of a block-coil superconducting magnet meeting the specifications for a 10 km muon collider ring with 10 TeV centre-of-mass energy. The design addresses combined dipole–quadrupole function, high magnetic fields, and large bore requirements for adequate shielding.
