Status of a Single-Aperture 11 T Nb$_{3}$Sn Demonstrator Dipole for LHC Upgrades

The planned upgrade of the LHC collimation system includes additional collimators in the LHC lattice. The longitudinal space for the collimators could be obtained by replacing some LHC main dipoles with stronger dipoles compatible with the LHC lattice and main systems. A joint R&D program w...

Sumario:The planned upgrade of the LHC collimation system includes additional collimators in the LHC lattice. The longitudinal space for the collimators could be obtained by replacing some LHC main dipoles with stronger dipoles compatible with the LHC lattice and main systems. 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 is being conducted by FNAL and CERN magnet groups. This paper describes the design and construction experience of the single-aperture 2 m long Nb3 Sn demonstrator dipole for the LHC upgrade.
