HTS Insert Coil Test in External Solenoid Field EmanuelaBarzi All Experimenters’ Meeting, July 11, 2011
Motivation of R&D • High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) are of interest for Muon Collider and/or Neutrino Factory accelerator magnets • The muons initially occupy a large 6D phase space, which must be cooled by a factor O(106). In the muon ionization cooling channel designs, the muons are confined within a lattice of high-field solenoids. The square-root of the final transverse emittance that is achievable is inversely proportional to the solenoid field at the end of the channel. The achievable luminosity in the collider is therefore proportional to this solenoid field, up to fields of about 50 T, beyond which the beam-beam tune shift is expected to limit the luminosity.
Why HTS? “Angular Measurements of HTS Critical Current for High Field Solenoids”, D. Turrioni et al..

HTS Work Directions 1. Magnet design studies - Since 2007, A. Zlobin, V. V. Kashikhin, E. Barzi, E. Terzini • “Study of High Field Superconducting Solenoids for Muon Beam Cooling”, V. V. Kashikhin et al.. IEEE Trans. Appl. Sup., V. 18, No. 2, p. 928 (2008). • “Towards 50T Solenoids”, E. Barzi- https://indico.fnal.gov/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=3148. • Analytical Study of Stress State in HTS Solenoids – Stress distribution in a solenoid was studied for various constraint configurations, max. stresses were produced as a function of coil self-field, and results compared with Finite Element Models.

What Next? • This insert coil produced 7.5 T in a 14 T background field (about 9 T at self-field). • This is an intermediate result with respect to our final goal. To develop a technology for 35 T+ solenoid, we need to double (~15 T) the field of the HTS insert in a background field of ~ 20 T provided by Nb3Sn/ NbTi hybrid coils.
