Summary
This paper presents a conceptual design study of a Nb₃Sn superconducting dipole magnet for the Future Circular Collider, conducted under the EuroCirCol project. The authors report electromagnetic performance characteristics based on double-aperture block coil configuration modelling and three-dimensional field analysis, alongside two-dimensional mechanical assessment of the structural containment system. The analysis indicates that the design specifications approach the material property limits of niobium-tin superconductors at the target operating field of 16 tesla.
UK applicability
This paper describes fundamental physics infrastructure development with no direct relevance to UK agriculture, farming systems, soil health, or human nutrition through food production.
Key measures
Integrated field quality, peak field in coil ends, mechanical stress in bladder and key structure, magnet performance in three-dimensional electromagnetic modelling
Outcomes reported
The study reported electromagnetic and mechanical performance characteristics of a Nb₃Sn 16 T block dipole magnet design for the Future Circular Collider, including field quality, peak field values, and structural stress analysis. The research demonstrated that the proposed design reaches the operational limits of the niobium-tin superconducting material under the specified conditions.
