The coils of the first quadrupole in the fragment separator region of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) must withstand an intense level of radiation and accommodate a very high heat load. Magnets produced with High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) are especially suitable in such an environment. The proposed design employs second generation (2G) HTS, permitting operation at ~50K. The engineering considerations this design are summarized. The goal has been to engineer a compact, readily producible magnet with a warm bore and yoke, made from radiation-resistant materials, capable of operating within the heat load limit, whose four double-layered coils will be adequately restrained under high radial Lorentz forces. Results of ANSYS finite element thermal and structural analyses of the coil clamping system are presented. Coil winding, lead routing and splicing, magnet assembly as well as remote tunnel installation/removal considerations are factored into this design and will also be discussed.

As a part of the proposed electron lens system for RHIC, two 6 T, 200 mm aperture, 2.5 meter long superconducting solenoids are being designed and built at BNL. Because of several demanding requirements this has become a unique and technologically advanced magnet. For example, the field lines on axis must be straight over the length of the solenoid within ±50 microns. Since this is beyond the normal construction techniques, a correction package becomes an integral part of the design for which a new design has been developed. In addition, a minimum of 0.3 T field is required along the electron beam trajectory in the space between magnets. To achieve this fringe field superconducting solenoidal coils have been added at the two ends of the main solenoid. The main solenoid itself is a challenging magnet because of the high Lorentz forces and stored energy associated with the large aperture and high fields. An innovative structure has been developed to deal with the large axial forces at the ends. This paper will summarize the magnetic design and optimization of the entire package consisting of the main solenoid, the fringe field solenoids, and the corrector system.

An alternate structure for the 120mm Nb3Sn quadrupole magnet is presently under development for use in the upgrade for LHC at CERN. The design aims to build on existing technology developed in LARP with the LQ and HQ magnets and to further optimize the features required for operation in the accelerator. The structure includes features for maintaining mechanical alignment of the coils to achieve the required field quality. It also includes a helium containment vessel and provisions for cooling with 1.9k helium. The development effort includes the assembly of a six inch model to verify required coil load is achieved. Status of the R&D effort and an update on the magnet design, including its incorporation into the design of a complete one meter long cold mass is presented.

High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) are now becoming a crucial part of future medium and high field magnet applications in several areas including accelerators, energy storage, medical and user facilities. A second generation HTS quadrupole is being constructed for the Facilities for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The muon collider requires high field solenoids in the range of 40-50 T - an R&D that is partly supported by SBIRs and partly programs at various laboratories. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) R&D, recently funded by ARPA-E, requires large aperture HTS solenoid in the range of 25-30 T. A user facility at National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) has been funded to develop a 32 T solenoid. All of these programs require HTS in a quantity never obtained before for magnet applications and would play a key role in developing HTS for magnet applications. High field magnets pose special challenges in terms of quench protection, large stored energy and large stresses, etc. This presentation will review various ongoing activities, and examine the future prospects of HTS magnets in a number of applications, with a particular emphasis on high field applications.
