Towards a muon collider

Riccardo Rattazzi, Varun Sharma, Siyu Chen, Xavier Buffat, Brian Quinn Henning, Filippo Nardi, Niko Neufeld, Luca Bottura, Andrea Wulzer, Roberto Franceschini

A muon collider would enable the big jump ahead in energy reach that is needed for a fruitful exploration of fundamental interactions. The challenges of producing muon collisions at high luminosity and 10 TeV centre of mass energy are being investigated by ...

Magnetic and Mechanical 3-D Modelling of a 15 T Large Aperture Dipole Magnet

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Luca Bottura, Douglas Martins Araujo

In 2018, two structures have been proposed with the goal of replacing the magnetEDIPOthat stopped operating in 2016. These two solutions were designed to generate a field of 15 T on an aperture of 100 x 150 mm2 at 4.2 K by using Nb 3Sn superconducting Ruth ...
