The recent update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics recommended a feasibility study for the future generation of collider. In this context, the Laboratory Directors Group, of which IRFU is a member, has been mandated by the CERN Council to oversee the development of an accelerator R&D roadmap. One of the objectives of this roadmap is the development of technologies for the manufacture of high-field superconducting magnets, essential for future colliders: this is the HFM (High Field Magnets) project.
In this context, IRFU has proposed to develop high magnetic field magnets using the Nb3Sn superconductor. This collaborative project with CERN will last 5 years, and aims to develop and validate the various technological stages up to the manufacture and testing of a model magnet generating up to 16T, and representative of an accelerator magnet. The collaboration agreement was signed at a ceremony at CERN on 23 March 2023, by CERN Director General Fabiola Gianotti and CEA Administrator General François Jacq.
