Description
The muon collider represents a transformative approach in particle
physics, offering a pathway to achieve high energy and luminosity with
reduced environmental impact compared to other collider technologies.
Central to its feasibility is the development of advanced magnet systems
capable of supporting the stringent requirements of muon production,
acceleration, and collision. The key targets for magnet R&D include
achieving field levels up to 40 T, magnets with stored energies up to
300 MJ, managing heat loads from muon decay at the level of several W/m,
and ensuring radiation resistance well above 50 MGy. Given such
extraordinary challenges, research presently focuses on integrating
high-temperature superconductors (HTS), tailored for efficient cooling
at cryogenic temperature, and striving for compact magnets to reduce the
capital expenditure. In the past years we have progressed in the
conceptual design, and in some cases initiated engineering
design as well as materials and small-size coil testing. This has
allowed to outline an R&D plan that we describe in this paper. The proposed plan involves staged milestones which include development of magnet prototypes.
