Abstract :
This paper presents the goal and status of the high field High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) solenoid program funded through a series of SBIRs. The target of this R&D program is to build HTS coils that are capable of producing fields greater than 20 T when tested alone and approaching 40 T when tested in a background field magnet. The solenoid will be made with second generation (2G) high engineering current density HTS tape. To date, 17 HTS pancake coils have been built and tested in the temperature range from 20 K to 80 K. Quench protection, high stresses and minimization of degradation of conductor are some of the major challenges associated with this program.
