Description
The US Magnet Development Program is a collaboration among 4 US laboratories (BNL, FNAL, LBNL, NHMFL) established in 2016, whose general goal is to perform basic R&D towards next generation high-field accelerator magnets. More specifically the strategic priorities are to explore the performance limits of Nb3Sn accelerator magnets, to perform R&D on HTS accelerator magnets, to develop LTS/HTS hybrid magnets, and to investigate fundamental aspects of magnet design and technology. In this presentation, we will update on the progress regarding the development of large aperture Nb3Sn dipole magnets currently ongoing at Fermilab and LBNL, the fabrication of both REBCO and Bi2212 insert coils, and the assembly and test of the first LTS-HTS hybrid magnet HM1. Also, a description of the effort dedicated to the implementation of new modeling techniques and new diagnostics tools for quench protection and detection will be given.
