Hadron Colliders (HC) are the most powerful discovery tools in modern high energy physics. A 100 TeV HC in a ~100 km tunnel with a nominal operation field of ~15 T is being considered for the post-LHC era. The choice of a 15 T nominal field requires using the Nb3Sn technology. Practical demonstration of this field level in an accelerator-quality magnet and substantial reduction of magnet costs are key conditions for the realization of such a machine. FNAL has started the development of a 15 T Nb3Sn dipole demonstrator for a 100 TeV HC. As a first step in this direction, the existing 11 T dipole magnet, developed for LHC upgrades, will be modified by adding two layers to achieve the nominal field of 15 T in a 60 mm aperture. As the next step, to increase the field margin the innermost 2-layer coil will be replaced with an optimized coil using the conductor grading approach. This paper describes the design concept and parameters of the 15 T Nb3Sn dipole demonstrators. Magnetic, mechanical and quench protection issues are discussed.
