Motivation

The mission of the US Magnet Development Program (USMDP) is to perform research on advanced superconducting accelerator magnet technology for future HEP colliders. The goal of the USMDP is to advance high-energy physics while increasing the capabilities in our accelerator magnet technology. This will position the U.S. for a leadership position in the development of enabling technology for the next generation of very high energy colliders. As an HEP funded Program, its primary focus is on magnets for accelerators, but the generic approach will develop magnet technologies that can be applied to a large variety of applications across the DOE Office of Science and beyond." .
