Development of Ultra-Thin Magnets for FCC-ee Experiments
Overview of the motivation, concept, and design principles behind the development of ultra-thin magnets for FCC-ee experiments, focusing on obtaining transparent magnets, high-strength conductor development, magnet design, quench protection, and vacuum vessel transparency. The project aims to create magnets with optimal magnetic field distribution and minimal stray fields, requiring transparent cold mass and vacuum vessel. The approach involves using high-strength conductors and innovative welding techniques.
