Harold G. Kirk 12 Test of Half Mid-sert in LN 2 (12 pancakes) Overall performance is not limited by coils in the ends (where field perpendicular is largest). It is limited by 4 th coil of the total 12 (i.e. one near the middle). Coil voltages in individual coil as a function of current Coil numbers are counted from one end to another end

Harold G. Kirk 13 Test Results at 4.2 o K Measured Critical Current As a function of Temperature This is the first test of large aperture, high field 2G magnet and also one that uses over 1 km (1.2 km) wire 250 A ==> 9.2 T on coil 5 T on Axis Corresponds to 10T for full mid-sert

Harold G. Kirk 17 Summary of Test Results in LN 2

Harold G. Kirk 18 Test at 4.2 o K The critical current of this solenoid was only 16 A at 77 o K, however, current reached 285 A at 4.2 o K. At this current, the central field was over 15 T and the peak field on the conductor was over 16 T. 18 In LHeIn LN 2 gas He

Harold G. Kirk 19 Future Plans Step 1—Test together the full mid-sert and insert. 220A will yield 22T. Step 2—Test the mid-ser/insert combination within the 20cm bore, 20T resistive magnet at NHMFL in Tallahassee. Step 3—Depending on approval of an SBIR Phase II proposal, build a 13-15T Nb 3 Sn outsert coil with the goal of achieving 35T with an all superconducting solenoid.

Harold G. Kirk 21 Future Task # T magnet in ~20 T field for a ~40 T Test Utilize the 20cm bore, 20 T field from a resistive solenoid at NHMFL. Install support structures to deal with large hoop stresses Update quench protection to take care of fault conditions

An insert using YBCO HTS has reached a 15T axial field at 4.2 o K. A full length mid-sert delivering a 10T axial field The mid-sert and insert together can deliver 22T An outsert using Nb 3 Sn capable of 13-15T is proposed. outsert midsert insert

Harold G. Kirk 23 SUMMARY l Final cooling scenario for a Muon Collider requires 30-40T solnoids l An YBCO based HTS solenoid with an ID of 2.5cm has achieved and axial field of 15T l An YBCO based HTS solenoid with an ID of 10cm capable of 10T axial field is being tested l A Nb3Sn based solinoid with an ID of 20cm, capable of delivering >13T is proposed
