Antoine DAËL
Saclay, vendredi 4 septembre 2015
The steering committee of the CERN-CEA collaboration agreement on magnets has decided to create an ad hoc Working Group
on Future Superconducting Magnet Technology
The composition of the WG is:A. Daël (CEA Saclay) - ChairmanT. Schild (CEA Saclay)C. Porcheray (CEA Saclay)G. Kirby (CERN)D. Mazur (CERN)
The mandate of the WG is of two years,2015 is Year 1, 2016 is Year 2
A Nick Name for the ad hoc WG
In Japanese traditionalarchitecture , fusuma
(襖) are vertical rectangularpanels which can slide fromside to side and act as doors.
So let’s open the doors and have the communitiesworking together!

MANDATE of the ad-hoc Working Group (WG) on Future Superconducting Magnet Technology
Considering the high impact potential of the technology R&D within the efforts on HL-LHC and FCC, the mandate of the ad-hoc WG is:1) to examine the synergies between on the one hand theindustrial areas of MRI, NMR as well as other relevantapplications and on the other hand the FCC investments in thetechnology domains of superconducting magnets;2) to demonstrate the benefits of these investments to society;3) to develop relationships with the European industriesconcerned;4) to propose practical joint R&D actions to be implementedbefore the end of the decade.

Methodology of the FuSuMaTech ad hoc WG
1. LOOK at the outside LANDSCAPES with a medium termperspective of 5 to 7 years:
– Patent landscape
– MRI market landscape
– NMR landscape
– Conductor landscape
2. HAVE Industrial contacts and expert interviews
3. DEFINE a set of realistic R&D common actions
4. DEFINE the frame for funding these actions under the
« FCC 93km umbrella »

Patents
• A few important European and US companies.
• Predominantly JP and CN companies.
• Europe has still a leading position in MRI and NMR innovation capabilities
• European Union must be aware of thissituation and shouldsupport the «FuSuMaTechinitiative»

Company visits in 2015
What we have asked to companies in year 1
• Welcome an open discussion with the FuSuMaTech WG and offer a visit of their facility.
• A standard letter has been sent to each companyfollowing a personal contact.
• Express their interest by writing.• Fill the Guidelines document which covers :
– R&D strategy– Collaboration Strategy– Intellectual Property strategy– Open comments

The WG is open to additional expertise
• Yuki IWASA : meeting in last June
• Akiro YAMAMOTO : already in contact with us
• Denis LE BIHAN : meeting on July 9
• Herman Ten KATE : to be scheduled
• Martin WILSON : already in contact with us
• René Flukiger : already in contact with us
We will ask them to comment the proposed R&D actions and to review the final report at the end of year 2.

European Programs and contract « tooling box »• Networking:Ways for horizontal interaction with companies
at expert level (technical contacts, newsletters, document servers, technical/scientific events, etc.).
• Transnational Access: CERN and other institutes will have to support a wide access of Industry to existing infrastructures.
• Joint Research Activities: Real prototypes that the WG consider as the most efficient part of the program.
• Networking and Transnational Access could be set up in the frame of very open collaboration
• Framework for Joint Research Activities including real prototypes depends on type of funding:– EU Project (various funding programmes)– Collaborative R&D– PCP

Liaising with conductor development
• Conductor R&D is mastered by companiesunder CERN leadership.
• We have established a close cooperation withDr. Amalia Balarino (who has participated to the Neurospin visit).
• WG recommendations will mention R&D on conductor but will focus on technology .

Intellectual Property – Why it matters
• Important to manage IP according to best practices
• For successful industrial exploitation, companies must be «free to operate», unhindered by existing IP rights.
• New IP rights may give competitive advantageto industrial participants of the FuSuMaTechinitiative.

companies– Draft MoU and draft EU application
• WG will wait for a « Go No Go » from Steering Committee• Contacts with competent European authorities should be
established by CERN to start lobbying the « FuSuMaTech initiative »

Prospects for MgB2 magnets
04/09/2015CERN CEA Steering Committee
Antoine DAËL R&D Synergy and Impact21
MgB2 is attractive because of its intrinsic low cost.Only two companies offer commercial wire (Columbus, HyperTech).The today performance limits the application to low field magnets, max 3-4T (GE NIH, Paramed) but improvement is possible (see recent results from HyperTech).Its electromechanical behavior makes difficult React&Wind magnet but still feasible.
MgB2 can be envisaged for detector magnets but it needs developments.
