The planned upgrade of the LHC collimation system includes two additional collimators to be installed in the dispersion suppressor areas of points 2, 3 and 7. The necessary longitudinal space for the collimators could be provided by replacing some 8.33 T NbTi LHC main dipoles with 11 T dipoles based on Nb3Sn superconductor and compatible with the LHC lattice and main systems. To demonstrate t his possibility Fermilab and CERN have started in 2011 a joint R&D program with the goal of building by 2014 a 5.5-m long twin-aperture dipole prototype suitable for installation in the LHC. The first step of this program is the development of a 2-m long single-aperture demonstration dipole with the nominal field of 11 T at the LHC nominal current of ~11.85 kA and 60 mm bore with ~20% margin. This paper describes the design, construction and test results of the single-aperture Nb3Sn demonstrator model for the LHC collimation system upgrade.

A series of accelerator quality Nb3Sn quadrupole models has been developed, fabricated and tested at Fermilab. The magnet design includes a 90 mm aperture surrounded by four two-layer Nb3Sn coils supported by a stainless steel collar, iron yoke and stainless steel skin. This paper describes the design and fabrication features of the quadrupole models and presents the summary of model tests including quench performance and field quality at 4.5 and 1.9 K.
