Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRISs) that utilize Nb-Ti superconducting coils for 28 GHz frequencies have been operating effectively for over twenty years. However, transitioning to higher frequencies demands stronger magnetic fields, and the conventional racetrack-and-solenoid ECRIS structures have reached their maximum capability with Nb-Ti. To address this, a Mixed Axial and Radial...Show More
Third-generation electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECRISs) have relied on a combination of sextupole and solenoid fields from Nb-Ti superconductors to produce the magnetic fields required for 28 GHz operation. The VENUS ion source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) was the first third-generation ion source optimized for 28 GHz operation, and since that time a similar design ha...Show More
Worldwide several electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources have been developed and in operation for heavy ion accelerators using Nb-Ti superconducting magnets. The Versatile ECR ion source for NUclear Science (VENUS) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) and the newly commissioned 28 GHz superconducting ECR ion source at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) were developed by LBN...Show More
Hybrid magnets are currently under consideration as an economically viable option towards 20 T dipole magnets for next generation of particle accelerators. In these magnets, High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) materials are used in the high field part of the coil with so-called “insert coils”, and Low Temperature Superconductors (LTS) like Nb3Sn and Nb-Ti superconductors are used in the lower f...Show More
High-temperature superconducting REBa$_{2}$ Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-x}$ (rebco) conductors have the potential to generate a high magnetic field over a broad temperature range. The corresponding accelerator magnet technology, still in its infancy, can be attractive for future energy-frontier particle colliders such as a multi-TeV muon collider. To help develop the technology, we explore the requirements and ...Show More
Superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECRISs) using NbTi coils and optimized for 28 GHz resonant heating have been successfully operated for almost two decades. Moving to higher heating frequencies requires increased magnetic fields, but traditional racetrack-and-solenoid ECRIS structures are at their limit using NbTi. Rather than moving to a superconductor untested in this fie...Show More
The most effective way to achieve very high collision energies in a circular particle accelerator is to maximize the field strength of the main bending dipoles. In dipole magnets using Nb-Ti superconductor the practical field limit is considered to be 8-9 T. When Nb3Sn superconductor material is utilized, a field level of 15-16 T can be achieved. To further push the magnetic field beyond the Nb3Sn...Show More
We present the design of a four-layer, Canted Cosine Theta (CCT) Nb$_3$Sn dipole magnet as part of the general R&D program for high field superconducting magnets supported by the US Magnet Development Program (US-MDP). Future testing with High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) inserts in a hybrid configuration motivates the design’s large clear aperture of 120 mm and target operating dipole field ...Show More
ALS-U is an ongoing upgrade of the Advance Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL). The upgraded ring of the ALS will use a multi-bend-archomat (MBA) lattice, which will allow increasing the brightness of soft x-ray sources 2-3 orders of magnitude with respect to current ALS ca-pabilities. One of the goals of the project is maintaining support for existing x-ray beamlines...Show More
A future circular collider (FCC) with a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV and a circumference of around 100 km, or an energy upgrade of the LHC (HE-LHC) to 27 TeV require bending magnets providing 16 T in a 50-mm aperture. Several development programs for these magnets, based on Nb3Sn technology, are being pursued in Europe and in the U.S. In these programs, cos-theta, block-type, common-coil, and ...Show More
The Nb3Sn quadrupole MQXF is being developed as a part of the large hadron collide (LHC) High Luminosity upgrade. The magnet design was tested on 1.5-m-long short models, sharing the same cross section with the full-length magnets.

The structure is designed to accommodate various coil design...Show More
