For the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee), particular attention is drawn to the crucial role of the positron source. The almost universal usage of target-based production schemes combined with conventional capture…
The subSMCC2b magnet is PSI’s second Nb₃Sn subscale magnet of common-coil type with two apertures, and represents an important milestone for the technology development for a 14 T demonstrator magnet…
subSMCC1 is a 4-layer stress-managed common coil (SMCC) magnet, which constitutes an important milestone towards a 14-T demonstrator magnet for FCC-hh. subSMCC1 was built to validate the concept of stress-managed…
BigBOX, one of the CHART/MagDev R&D vehicles, is an Nb3Sn racetrack in a stress-management structure. Following one of our developments in impregnation systems, the first BigBOX was impregnated with paraffin…
The HTS bulk undulator project recently achieved the specifications for the magnetic field strength of its 10 mm period and 4.0 mm diameter aperture hard x-ray undulator. Designed for the new microscopy…
Optics developments with CFMs show promising results to improve the FCC-ee performance and efficiency. The FCC-ee project envisions a double-ring lepton collider in a new tunnel with a circumference of…
As one of the first CHART projects, MagDev at PSI designed and built a canted-cosine theta (CCT) demonstrator magnet, wound from Nb3Sn conductor. Lasting from February 2017 to October 2019,…
Fig. 1: Stack of four 12-mm wide pancake windings, prepared for mounting in the cryogen-free test station. This coil produced 18.2 T. Fig. 2: Stack of two pancake windings mounted…
In our recent publication, we showed how to overcome current process limitations in additive manufacturing by segmenting the part on a complex-shaped winding former. The research was a collaboration between…
