Description
The LHC Tripler is a conceptual design for a 20 TeV/beam hadron collider that could be installed above the LHC to triple the collision energy and double the mass reach for new gauge fields. It employs hybrid dipoles, containing windings of both Bi-2212 and Nb3Sn to reach 25 Tesla field strength. These dipoles employ technical innovations that have come from the development of the current state of the art in Nb3Sn dipoles: block-coil geometry, stress management, bladder preload, and flux plate suppression of persistent current multipoles.
Recent progress in evaluating some of the many system requirements for this upgrade will be reported: absorption of synchrotron light on 160 K photon stops, injection from a 1 TeV rapid-cycling super-SPS, low-beta squeeze and impact on existing detectors, suppression of electron cloud effect, and abort requirements. A proposal to begin an R&D collaboration to develop the required dipole technology will be presented.
