Superconducting magnet systems for future particle accelerators.

Author(s) : DEVRED A.

Summary

Three types of systems are commonly found in existing particle accelerators: lattices of dipole and quadrupole magnets to bend and focus the beams in the accelerator arcs; sets of customized dipole and quadrupole magnets to steer and focus the beam(s) near the interaction points; large solenoidal and toroidal magnets in the detector arrays surrounding the interaction points. Most of those magnet systems are superconductive. After presenting these three categories, the author reviews ongoing research and development programs carried out in various laboratories around the world. This includes several design options for the arcs in the Very Large Hadron Collider, high field, beam-operation dipole magnets for a possible upgrade of the LHC interaction regions, and final-focusing quadrupole magnets for the Tera Electron volts Superconducting Linear Accelerator. In conclusion, he presents the novel and unconventional magnets that would be required for the proposed muon collider.
