Description
In the scenario of the Muon Collider, the short muon lifetime (2.2 μs at rest) poses several challenges in developing magnets, RF systems, targets, shielding, and cooling. One major concern is the flux of neutrinos produced by muon decay in the collider, which necessitates minimizing straight sections. This constraint makes conventional FoDo cells unsuitable, requiring the development of combined-function magnets that integrate bending with focusing/defocusing or chromaticity correction functions.
To address these challenges, magnets capable of combining a dipole field with either a quadrupole field (B1+B2) or a sextupole field (B1+B3) are currently under study. This work extends the Aperture-Field (A-B) plot methodology, previously applied to single dipoles or quadrupoles, to dipole-quadrupole combined-function magnets. It outlines feasible designs based on aperture, field strength, mechanical stress, quench protection, and cost. Using a Python-ANSYS tool, optimized configurations were simulated under the sector coil approximation, focusing on ReBCO coils operating at 4.5K, 10K, and 20K. The resulting Dipole Field – Quadrupole Gradient (B-G) plots illustrate the design space, highlighting the technological limits and feasibility of various dipole and quadrupole combinations.
