Some of the recent concepts for novel particle accelerators are challenging for current magnet technology, either in terms of field quality, geometrical constraints or performance. One of these concepts is the Fixed Field Alternating Gradient accelerator (FFAG), which is presently discussed for a number of scientific and industrial applications. In this talk I will outline the magnet solution of the PAMELA project, which is a design study of a particle accelerator for charged particle therapy. PAMELA employs a novel helical coil concept, which has recently been filed for patent.
A second interesting challenge for magnet technology is a future muon collider, which may require solenoids providing 30T or more. This part of the talk will focus on work done at the Nikolas Kurti Magnetic Field Laboratory (NKMFL) at Oxford University. The NKMFL is one of the very few facilities worldwide which provides fields in excess of 65T for condensed matter physics research. The talk will highlight some of the challenges when approaching the highest fields.
