Abstract

A first model dipole is being built for a 16 Tesla block-coil dipole for future hadron colliders. The design uses stress management: a support matrix that intercepts Lorentz stress between successive sections of the coil and bypasses it to prevent strain degradation of the superconductors and insulation. The block-coil methodology has also been used to design dipoles for 12 Tesla and 15 Tesla, in which the amount of superconductor is minimized by cabling copper stabilizer strands with superconductor strands. The 12 Tesla block-coil dipole requires only one-fifth as much superconductor as does a 12 Tesla cos θ dipole that is being developed elsewhere
