The Muon Collider represents a promising opportunity in particle physics, combining high energy efficiency with minimal synchrotron losses. Central to this collider's feasibility is the development of ultra-high-field (UHF) magnets, specifically designed for the final cooling stage. This presentation focuses on the R&D efforts in magnet design, particularly the development of a 40 T solenoid utilizing ReBCO high-temperature superconductors (HTS) in a non-insulated (NI) pancake coil configuration.

This R&D initiative spans multiple fields, from advanced design and simulation to material research and fabrication processes. The resulting innovations in HTS materials and compact solenoid architecture have the potential to impact various applications beyond particle physics, including medical imaging, energy-efficient fusion reactors, and high-field technologies for industry and scientific research.
