Section Leader: Ezio Todesco

Mandate of the SMT section

● Design of superconducting magnets for particle accelerators, with special focus on FCC-hh

● Construction of short model magnets, and analysis of manufacturing and test results to optimize performance and cost

● Development of superconducting magnet technology for other applications

● Superconducting magnet insulation development, radiation tests, impregnation resins

● CERN-wide support for polymer casting and rapid prototyping
