Description
The Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), in collaboration with CERN and the Lawrence-Berkeley National Laboratory, is contributing to the Future-Circular-Collider (FCC) Design Study by exploring the canted-cosine theta (CCT) technology for its suitability for an FCC 16-T main dipole magnet. This design constitutes a departure from classical design patterns, presenting us with, both, opportunities and challenges. In order to establish the CCT option as a viable contender, PSI has launched an effort to build a 12-T technology demonstrator magnet, exhibiting many of the specific features, that would be required for an FCC magnet. We will discuss PSIs efforts in this direction, as well as other potential applications of superconducting CCT technology.
