The LHC's future, part 2: The High-Luminosity superconductor

Increasing the number of collisions by a factor of 10 is a future goal for the Large Hadron Collider. To do this, the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project is working on cranking up LHC performance to increase discovery potential after 2025. Among the components to be upgraded are the quadrupole magnets in interaction points IP1 and IP5, which will use a new superconducting technology based on the superconductor Niobium-tin (Nb3Sn). This superconductor will help reach magnetic fields of about 12 T, but it requires a complex fabrication process that includes heat treatment of the coils to about 650 degrees Celsius and vacuum impregnation with epoxy. In CERN's superconducting model magnets laboratory the Magnet, Superconductors and Cryostats group is currently fabricating short models of the final Nb3Sn HL-LHC quadrupole magnet to verify the magnet design and define fabrication and assembly procedures.
