Abstract

The magnet group at LBNL is in the process of developing high-field accelerator magnets for use in future colliders. One of the primary challenges is to provide a design which is cost-effective and simple to manufacture, at the same time resulting in good training performance and field quality adequate for accelerator operation. Studies have focused on a racetrack geometry that has the virtues of simplicity and conductor compatibility. The results have been applied to the design of a series of prototype high-field magnets based on Nb₃Sn conductor
