Abstract :
US high energy physics community is exploring the possibilities of building a Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) after the completion of LHC. This paper presents a high field magnet design option based on Nb/sub 3/Sn technology. A preliminary magnetic and mechanical design of a 14-16 T, 2-in-1 dipole based on the "common coil design" approach is presented. The computer code ROXIE has been upgraded to perform the field quality optimization of magnets based on the racetrack coil geometry. A magnet R&D program to investigate the issues related to high field magnet designs is also outlined.
