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.

  In the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) the normalized horizontal and vertical emittances of the electron and positron beams must be reduced to 500 nm and 5 nm before the beams enter the 3 TeV linear accelerators. An effective way to accomplish ultra-low emittances are damping rings. Damping rings are storage rings equipped with strong wiggler magnets. In a first approximation damping wigglers are more effective the shorter the period length and the stronger the magnetic field is. Only superconducting wiggler magnets meet the demanding magnetic specifications of the CLIC damping rings. Nb-Ti damping wiggler magnets fulfill the specifications of CLIC but Nb3Sn wiggler magnets would reach higher magnetic fields leading to even better beam properties for CLIC. Moreover, they have at the same time higher thermal and magnetic margins. Therefore, Nb3Sn wiggler magnets are under investigation at CERN despite the challenging manufacturing process. This paper presents first results of Nb3Sn coils and short model tests and outlines the further plans for developing Nb3Sn wiggler magnets at CERN.

The planned upgrade of the LHC collimation system foresees additional collimators to be installed in the dispersion suppressor areas around points 2, 3, and 7. The necessary longitudinal space for the collimators could be provided by replacing some 8.33-T 15-m-long NbTi LHC main dipoles with shorter 11-T Nb3Sn dipoles compatible with the LHC lattice and main systems. To demonstrate this possibility, in 2011 Fermilab and CERN started a joint R&D program with the goal of building a 5.5-m-long twin-aperture dipole prototype suitable for installation in the LHC by 2014. 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 presents the results of magnetic analysis of the single-aperture Nb3Sn demonstrator dipole for the LHC collimation system upgrade.
