Prospects for High Field Nb3Sn Dipoles

by Shlomo Caspi (LBL)

Thursday 3 Feb 2005, 14:15 → 16:15 Europe/Zurich

AT Auditorium (CERN)

The talk will focus on Nb3Sn superconducting accelerator magnets and address technical issues on three different subjects:

1) A short summary of the US LARP quadrupole magnet program and the status of the first model magnets.

2) R&D on high field magnets - the base program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

3) Scaling and limits of Nb3Sn dipoles - how do we approach this challenge.
