What should we do? Our Response
- Magnet design should have a longer term outlook (vision)
- This is the time to explore different approaches
Not only in the geometry, but the way we do magnet R&D
Develop an approach to give faster turn-around on R&D
Build “A Magnet R&D Factory”
- Don’t just build magnets - develop technology and build magnets to demonstrate the technology. Build “The Technology Magnets”
- Think that how this R&D will lead to accelerator-quality magnets (and demonstrate parts of it, whenever possible)
Lower cost, long magnets and large volume production
