The international particle physics community, among different options for the development of future high-energy particle colliders and fundamental interactions exploration, considers Muon Colliders (MC) as a great opportunity to achieve high discovery potential and integrated luminosity compatible with a compact and cost-effective accelerator machine. An international muon collider...
The aim of providing high collision energy for future particle accelerators relies on the capability to design and demonstrate the feasibility of 20 T dipole magnets. To reach the ambitious goal of a future proton-proton collider, a coordinated effort is required to overcome the current technological limits. The US Magnet Development Program is exploring the hybrid magnets option to reduce the...
The use of high temperature superconductors (HTS) in magnetic levitation (Maglev) has been investigated for decades. Superconducting materials may be used in both the propulsion and levitation subsystems of a device. For the propulsion subsystem, their use in electric machinery potentially reduces losses and increases the power to volume or mass ratio. For the levitation subsystems, they are...
The aviation sector’s greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced by replacing jet engines with electric motor-driven propellers. However, the high power required of these motors is possible only by increasing the motor size and/or the current it carries. Larger size means more mass, which would reduce the plane’s range and payload capability. Higher current means more heat generated by...
Particles-therapy is a very promising treatment addressing a critical public health issue such as tumors irradiation with a millimetric precision to spare the neighboring healthy tissues. The main advantage of this technology compared to X-rays is having a very localized treatment avoiding a large energy deposition into healthy tissues. However, despite the great advantages, the main drawbacks...
Superconducting wind generators provide significant advantages in terms of power density over conventional wind generators, resulting in reduced weights and volumes, which contribute to significant cost reduction in the installation and maintenance of offshore wind turbines. An efficient cryogenic cooling system is crucial to ensure the safe and stable operation of low-temperature...
