Abstract :
In support of the Large Hadron Collider luminosity upgrade, a large bore (120 mm) Nb3Sn quadrupole with 15 T peak coil field is being developed within the framework of the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP). The 2-layer design with a 15 mm wide cable is aimed at pre-stress control, alignment and field quality while exploring the magnet performance limits in terms of gradient, forces and stresses. In addition, HQ will determine the magnetic, mechanical, and thermal margins of Nb3Sn technology with respect to the requirements of the luminosity upgrade at the LHC.
