Integration of international collaborative research on high Tc superconductor technology for frontier of high energy physics

Project Gist

High Tc superconductor technology for frontier of high energy physics

Keywords

superconductor, high field magnet, high energy physics

Background, Purpose, and Project Achievements

A feasibility study of future very high energy particle accelerators for high energy physics research using high Tc superconductor (HTS) magnets has been started in Europe. Meanwhile, the PI of this SPIRITS project is carrying out an R&D project of the fundamental technologies for HTS accelerator magnets funded by JST under the S-Innovation Program, where one of the main target applications is the carbon cancer therapy. This SPRITS project aimed to extend the outcome of the S-Innovation project to the HTS magnet R&D for the frontier of high energy physics. Electromagnetic field analyses of HTS magnets as well as experimental studies on HTS magnets to clarify their electromagnetic characteristics were carried out. These theoretical and experimental studies were made under the extensive collaborations with national and international institutions. We also organized “The 2014 Kyoto Workshop on HTS Magnet Technology for High Energy Physics – The 2nd Workshop on Accelerator Magnet in HTS (WAMHTS-2)”, which was held in November 13 – 14 at Katsura Hall of Kyoto University to promote the international collaboration.

Future Prospects

We will continuously intensify the research activities at Kyoto University which can be its advantages in the international collaboration. Based on the network established by the support of the SPIRITS program, we will promote various international collaboration.
