Abstract
A superconducting accelerator dipole design based on the use of tape c onductors in the high held region would open possibilities to reach ma gnetic flux densities in the range of 15-20 T. The unconventional geom etry of the designed magnet avoids many problems encountered in the pr esently much used dipole cross-section of intersecting ellipses. The u se of thin tape conductor is made possible by carefully optimizing the cross-sectional geometry of the coils. A design study of a 15 T magne t is presented and the required conductor characteristics to realize t his concept are discussed.
