Abstract :
A new superconducting coil outsert has been designed to be integrated within the existing infrastructure of the GHMFL hybrid project. Based on the novel development of a Nb-Ti Rutherford Cable On Conduit Conductor (RCOCC) cooled at 1.8 K by a bath of superfluid helium at atmospheric pressure, the superconducting coil aims to produce a continuous magnetic field of 8.5 T in a 1.1 m bore diameter. Combined with resistive insert coils, an overall continuous magnetic field of 42+ T will be produced in a 34 mm warm aperture. The main results of the conceptual study are reported including the conductor and coil specifications, the mechanical stress analysis, the coil protection scheme as well as the required cryogenics infrastructure. First developments and tests regarding the RCOCC are also presented.
