## Support the Fermilab Accelerator Complex

- Upgrades to the accelerator for
- Accelerator and NuMI Upgrade (ANU) portion of NovA
- Superbeams to NuMI (SNuMI)
-       requires several systems of magnets and kickers
- 	for example Booster corrector magnets
- Depending on the direction of the lab....
- 6 GeV ILC injection line (more magnets and kickers)
- HINS (SC solenoids being developed now)
- Expect more definition as plans are solidified!

** ****Accelerator (fixed target booster and main injector)**
** ****program will run **_**at least**_** into the mid- 2010’s**

## ILC Accelerator Magnets 

- As with the RDR, TD will play a central role in EDR including magnet design, prototyping, testing and cost estimation (through early 2010’s)
- Major role in development on Main Linac Quads
- First R&D; then integration into cryomodules
- As construction nears: final design, production (in industry) and test (here) then installation and commissioning
- IR magnet design and integration.  This is a large project that will require multi-lab involvement through the life of the project
- Near construction time, TD scientist and engineers will be required to act as project managers for magnet production systems in the US

**Active Program, regardless of construction start date**

## LHC Accelerator Magnets 

- Support the existing “US deliverables” now being installed (especially during commissioning)
- Nb3Sn IRQ short model R&D and full scale quad prototypes  for IR upgrades (now till ~2010)
- Develop quad and dipole designs and prototyping actual luminosity upgrade magnets (through mid 2010’s)
- We hope to position ourselves to be a major contributor to the production of those luminosity upgrade magnets (middle 2010’s)

- LHC accelerator support continues throughout 2010’s in support of US LHC HEP program

## Muon Collider 

- Fermilab is planning to build full scale helical solenoid for 6D cooling demonstration experiment  MANX (the present through 2010)
- Magnet R&D for HTS solenoids, collision ring and IR quad magnets as well as design of cooling channel helical solenoid suitable for practical Muon collider design (the present and well beyond 2010)
- Effort will be coordinated through the Fermilab muon program, as well as international collaboration for muon colliders and neutrino factory.  It will involve a broad collaboration of DOE magnet laboratories.

- As longer time scale effort, muon Collider R&D could greatly increase over the next 15 years, particularly if muon cooling can be demonstrated

## Material R&D 

- In support of all of the above magnet programs we will continue to have an active materials research program, for improving the properties of now-available materials such as NbTi and Nb3Sn.
- New materials such as Nb3Al and different HTS materials continue to improve, and will be needed for higher field/higher mechanical stress or higher temperature applications (such a very high field HTS solenoid)
- This work is done in conjunction with superconductor vendors and university collaborators.
- Other material R&D interests:
- Ceramic Insulation for Nb3Sn conductor
- Rad-hardened Insulation materials
