Abstract
A collaboration of Fermilab, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory is engaged in the design of a high gra dient quadrupole suitable for use in the LHC interaction regions. The cold iron design incorporates a two-layer, cos(2 theta) coil geometry with a 70 mm aperture operating in superfluid helium. This paper summa rizes the progress on a magnetic, mechanical and thermal design that m eets the requirements of maximum gradient above 250 T/m, high field qu ality and provision for adequate cooling in a high radiation environme nt.
