The EuCARD High Field Magnet Project

Abstract

In the EC FP7 program EuCARD (European Coordination for Accelerator Research & Development) the subject of work-package 7 is High Field Magnets. The aim of the HFM work-package is to develop technologies for magnets in the range 13 T-20 T for accelerator applications like HL-LHC and HE-LHC. The work-package foresees construction of a 13 T dipole with an aperture of 100 mm, an HTS dipole insert with ΔB = 6 T, an HTS current link and a helical undulator. The work-package has 12 European partners and the funding is shared between the EC and the partners. This contribution describes the aims of the work-package, the status of the work and the structure of the collaboration.
