Abstract
Common coil magnets are a promising option for post LAC hadron colliders. Fermilab, in collaboration with LBNL, is involved in an R&D program to develop 11 T, 30-40 mm aperture, common coil dipoles. The use of Nb/sub 3/Sn wound after reaction is chosen in order to address cost reduction that is a key issue for future hadron colliders. The common coil design concept allows a large bending radius at the coil ends and is well suited to the react-and-wind technique with brittle superconductors. The horizontal component of the magnetic forces in a common coil is larger than the radial component in a shell type layout, imposing demanding requirements on the mechanical structure. Both a 2-layer and a single layer design have been studied. The development of the program is presented focusing on the mechanical designs and assembly techniques. R&D activities and plans are also presented.
