2. Motivation of R&D High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) are of interest for Muon Collider and/or Neutrino Factory accelerator magnets The muons initially occupy a large 6D phase space, which must be cooled by a factor O(10 6 ). In the muon ionization cooling channel designs, the muons are confined within a lattice of high-field solenoids. The square-root of the final transverse emittance that is achievable is inversely proportional to the solenoid field at the end of the channel. The achievable luminosity in the collider is therefore proportional to this solenoid field, up to fields of about 50 T, beyond which the beam- beam tune shift is expected to limit the luminosity. 2

8. What Next? This insert coil produced 7.5 T in a 14 T background field (about 9 T at self-field). This is an intermediate result with respect to our final goal. To develop a technology for 35 T+ solenoid, we need to double (~15 T) the field of the HTS insert in a background field of ~ 20 T provided by Nb 3 Sn/ NbTi hybrid coils.
