Abstract

The transmission line magnet is under development for the Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) at Fermilab with the expectation that it´s cost will be several times less (per Tesla-meter) than conventional superconducting magnets. It is a dual-aperture warm-iron superferric magnet built around an 80 kA superconducting transmission line. The superconductor consists of 8 Rutherford (SSC Outer) cables in an Invar pipe jacket. The conductor design requirements and development program is described. A 100 kA conductor test facility based on inductive coupling is described
