20 T dipoles and Bi-2212: the path to LHC energy upgrade
Increasing the energy of the LHC would require a ring of \sim20 T magnets
using the superconductors Nb3Sn and Bi-2212/Ag. The technology for Bi-2212/Ag
wire, cable, and coil has advanced significantly but is still far short of the
performance needed for such magnets. New technol-ogy for both wire and cable is
under development, which if successful would yield the needed performance.Comment: 5 pages, contribution to the EuCARD-AccNet-EuroLumi Workshop: The

Mechanical design of a high field common coil magnet
A common coil design for high field 2-in-1 accelerator magnets has been previously presented as a "conductor-friendly" option for high field magnets applicable for a Very Large Hadron Collider. This paper presents the mechanical design for a 14 tesla 2-in-1 dipole based on the common coil design approach. The magnet will use a high current density Nb/sub 3/Sn conductor. The design addresses mechanical issues particular to the common coil geometry: horizontal support against coil edges, vertical preload on coil faces, end loading and support, and coil stresses and strains. The magnet is the second in a series of racetrack coil magnets that will provide experimental verification of the common coil design approach. (9 refs)
Rutherford cables with anisotropic transverse resistance
Putting a resistive core into the center of a Rutherford cable increases resistance between strands in the crossover direction, which greatly reduces the coupling currents, even when the resistance to adjacent turns remains small. This allows one to improve stability by soldering strands together or using porous metal, without incurring a penalty of increased coupling. We describe our manufacturing methods and an experimental measurement of coupling

ISABELLE full scale dipoles
Data are presented on the various cosine theta type magnet models constructed at BNL in the development of ring magnets for ISABELLE, a pair of intersecting 200 GeV proton accelerating storage rings. The rings are to be filled with 30 GeV protons from the AGS and then accelerated to 200 GeV. The acceleration period is a 120 sec ramp from approximately 0.5 T to 4 T. The effect of mechanical precompression on training was studied by varying the interference fit between the coil (ISA IV) and its iron shield. The results were used to optimize the mechanical design of the full-size magnet models. (auth

Power tests of a string of magnets comprising a full cell of the Superconducting Super Collider
In this paper we describe the operation and testing of a string of magnets comprising a full cell of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The full cell configuration composed of ten dipoles, two quadrupoles, and three spool pieces is the longest SSC magnet string ever tested. Although the tests of the full cell were undertaken after the SSC project was marked for termination, their completion was deemed necessary and useful to future efforts at other accelerator laboratories utilizing Superconducting magnets. The focus of this work is on the electrical and cryogenic performance of the string components and the quench protection system with an emphasis on solving some of the questions concerning electrical performance raised during the previous two experimental runs involving a half cell configuration

Half Cell "SSC'' 40mm Aperture Magnet String
The data given here were obtained during a controls and system check out run. This run basically had all of the proper accelerator controls as well as, in the background, an independent magnet test facility monitor and protection. Early data are presented on the heat loads of some circuits and quench performance of the two magnet string used. The heat loads found were high and the quench performance appeared to be better than expected. After disassembly occurred, obvious causes were present for some of the heat load. 6 refs
