The 2020 Updated Roadmaps for the US Magnet Development Program

Abstract: The US Magnet Development Program brings together teams from the leading US accelerator magnet research programs to develop the next generation of magnet technology for future collider applications. Sponsored by the DOE Office of High Energy Physics, the program strives to maintain and strengthen US Leadership in the field, while nurturing cross-cutting activities from other programs to further strengthen the research and its impact to the DOE Office of Science. The US MDP was initiated in 2016, and there has been significant progress on the original program roadmaps and major advancements in magnet science. These advances, together with the addition of Brookhaven National Laboratory to the MDP in 2019 and the onset of the next Snowmass community planning effort for High Energy Physics in early 2020, motivate a review and renewal of the program roadmaps. The updated roadmaps presented here are the result of significant discussion and planning with the MDP research staff, along with guidance from our Technical Advisory Committee, outreach to colleagues from the International Community, and feedback from DOE-OHEP.
