Abstract:
The Accelerator Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University is developing superconducting magnet technology for an energy upgrade of the LHC and for accelerator-driven fission. Two topics will be presented:
1) progress on our TAMU 5 magnet and efforts to improve Bi-2212 for the LHC upgrade;
2) the strong-focusing cyclotron as a high-current proton driver for ADS fission.
