A conceptual design is presented for the 50 Tesla superconducting solenoids that are required for an optimized fast cooling ring in current designs for multi-TeV muon colliders. The solenoid utilizes high-performance multi-filament Bi-2212/Ag round strand. The conductor is a cable-in-conduit consisting of six such strands cabled around a thin-wall spring tube then drawn within an outer sheath. The spring tube and the sheath are made from high-strength superalloy Inconel. The solenoid coil comprises 5 concentric shells supported independently in the conventional manner. Each shell consists of a winding of the structured cable, impregnated in the voids between cables but empty inside so that the spring tubes decouple stress so that it cannot strain-degrade the fragile strands, and a high-modulus overband. An expansion bladder is located between the winding and the overband, and is pressurized and then frozen to provide hydraulic compressive preload to each shell. This approach makes it possible to accommodate ~10 T field contribution from each shell without degradation, and provides distributed refrigeration so that heat is removed throughout the windings.

A polyhedral superconducting cavity is being developed for possible use in linac colliders. In side view it has the contour of a Tesla-type multi-cell string. The surfaces of the cavity are formed by bonding flat foils to solid copper wedge-shaped segments, so that the end view is a polyhedron of such segments. Several features of this structure make it interesting for linac colliders: the cavity segments are totally open for cleaning, polishing, and inspection until the final assembly step; narrow slot gaps at the boundaries between segments strongly suppress all deflecting modes without penalty to the accelerating mode; the solid copper substrate accommodates cooling channels and eliminates the need for an immersion cryostat; and the open geometry makes it possible to utilize advanced superconductors (e.g. multi-layer Nb/Nb3Sn, YBCO, MgB2) on the cavity surface, opening the possibility of higher gradients.
