Accelerator-Quality HTS Dipole Magnet Demonstrator Designs for the EuCARD-2 5-T 40-mm Clear Aperture Magnet

Future high-energy accelerators will need very high magnetic fields in the range of 20 T. The Enhanced European Coordination for Accelerator Research and Development (EuCARD-2) Work Package 10 is a collaborative push to take high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials into an accelerator-quality demonstrator magnet. The demonstrator will produce 5 T stand alone and between 17 and 20 T when inserted into the 100-mm aperture of a Fresca-2 high-field outsert magnet. The HTS magnet will demonstrate the field strength and the field quality that can be achieved. An effective quench detection and protection system will have to be developed to operate with the HTS superconducting materials. This paper presents a ReBCO magnet design using a multistrand Roebel cable that develops a stand-alone field of 5 T in a 40-mm clear aperture and discusses the challenges associated with a good field quality using this type of material. A selection of magnet designs is presented as the result of the first phase of development.
