Abstract
A colliding energy of 16 TeV as requested for the proposed new hadron collider LHC of CERN can only be attained if the techniques to construct 10 T dipole magnets are available since LHC should be installed in the existing LEP tunnel. At the moment a development programme is carried out at CERN in collaboration with European laboratories and industries to construct several 10 tesla model magnets following either the NbTi/2 K or the Nb3Sn/4 K routes. Here we present a new initiative to explore the Nb3Sn route. a 4 years R&D programme was started in 1988, in the framework of a cooperation agreement with CERN, by the Applied Superconductivity Centre at the University of Twente and NIKHEF, the National Institute for Nuclear and High Energy Physics in collaboration with ECN, HOLEC and SMIT WIRE. The paper reports on various design aspects and the present state of development.
These investigations in the programme of the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter FOM are supported, in part, by the Netherlands Technology Foundation STW.
