Progress in the design of the magnets for a Muon Collider
2956
Magnets have been identified as one of the critical technologies for a proton-driven Muon Collider. Within the scope of the International Muon Collider Collaboration we have progressed in the review of requirements, and the development of concepts towards the initial engineering of several of the most critical magnets identified from our previous work. In this paper we present an update of the accelerator magnet configuration for all the parts of the Muon Collider complex, from muon production to collision. We then give details on the specific technologies that have been selected as baseline. Overall, it is clear that a Muon Collider requires very significant innovation in accelerator magnet technology, mostly relying on the success of HTS magnet development. We include in our description a list of options and development staging steps intended to mitigate technical, cost and schedule risk.

Advancements in superconducting undulator technology: deployment of the first Nb3Sn-based SCU at the Advanced Photon Source
A state-of-the-art Nb3Sn-based Superconducting Undulator (SCU) has been designed and built at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) of Argonne National Laboratory in collaboration with Fermi and Berkeley National labs. Following the successful completion of its commissioning phase, this SCU in February 2023 began delivering high energy x-ray beam to APS users. The successful realization of the Nb3Sn-based SCU paves the way for short-period, high-field undulators that greatly benefit current and future light sources. The presentation will provide details on the fabrication, magnetic characterization, installation and commissioning of the APS Nb3Sn SCU.

Lifetime of non-evaporable getter thin films over repeated activation
2960
Non-evaporable getter (NEG) coatings are used in accelerator beamlines to create an area of distributed pumping, allowing less external pumps to be installed, and smaller diameter tubes to be used. Both giving way to greater space for magnet arrays to better control the beam within, allowing more efficient accelerators to be produced. To work, NEG coatings must be activated by heating to a set temperature for 24 hours. This temperature depends on the properties of the NEG coating, and requirements of the system. The coating is then able to pump residual gasses out of the vacuum system, until it becomes saturated and will once again need activating. Over its a lifetime, a NEG coating will be activated and saturated numerous times, each time reducing the available sites for molecules to diffuse to during activation. Thus, eventually, the NEG coating will lose its capability, and will no longer be able to reach the same pumping capacity from the same activation regime. This study investigates the limits of NEG lifetimes, looking at the effect of multiple activations on the same coating. Samples of diameter 35 mm and length 50 cm were characterized by CO and H2 injections, from which the sticking probabilities and NEG coating capacity could be obtained. The samples were activated numerous times to see any degradation of the NEG coating. The results will be presented and discussed at IPAC 2024.
