This open access book is written by world-recognized experts in the fields of applied
superconductivity and superconducting accelerator magnet technologies. It provides a
contemporary review and assessment of the experience in research and development of high-field
accelerator dipole magnets based on Nb3Sn superconductor over the past five decades. The reader
attains clear insight into the development and the main properties of Nb3Sn composite
superconducting wires and Rutherford cables and details of accelerator dipole designs
technologies and performance. Special attention is given to innovative features of the
developed Nb3Sn magnets. The book concludes with a discussion of accelerator magnet needs for
future circular colliders.
