Description
CERN and CEA Paris-Saclay are collaborating in the framework of the HFM (High Field Magnet) project.
One part of the program is to develop $Nb_3Sn$ magnets generating a 14 T operational field, as a baseline for a future high-energy collider. Following some experience acquired in the previous collaborations, CEA has proposed a development plan for block-coil magnets. The goal is to design, build and test short models, representative of accelerator magnets. The first demonstrator, R2D2, is currently in fabrication.
In parallel, HTS magnet technologies are explored to generate dipole fields above 14 T using REBCO based HTS materials. In particular, CEA is studying the MI (Metal Insulated) technology. Various mock-up coils have been already manufactured and tested to explore the design limits.
