A final focus magnet design that uses super-ferric magnets is introduced for the Super-B interaction region. The baseline design has air-core super-conducting quadrupoles. This idea instead uses super-conducting wire in an iron yoke. The iron is in the shape of a Panofsky quadrupole and this allows for two quadrupoles to be side-by-side with no intervening iron as long as the gradients of the two quads are equal. This feature allows us to move in as close as possible to the collision point and minimize the beta functions in the interaction region. The super-ferric design has advantages as well as drawbacks and we will discuss these in the paper.

The SuperB project is an international effort aiming at building in Italy a very high luminosity e⁺e^- (10³⁶ cm^-2 sec^-1) asymmetric collider at the B mesons cm energy. The accelerator design has been extensively studied and changed during the past year. The present design, - based on the new collision scheme, with large Piwinski angle and the use of 'crab' sextupoles, which has been successfully tested at the DAPHNE Phi-Factory at LNF Frascati, - provides larger flexibility, better dynamic aperture and in the Low Energy Ring spin manipulation sections, needed for having longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at the Interaction Point. The Interaction Region has been further optimized in terms of apertures and reduced backgrounds in the detector. The injector complex design has been also updated. A summary of the design status, including details on lattice and spin manipulation will be presented in this paper.

In a linac-ring electron-proton collider based on the LHC ("LR-LHeC"), the final focusing quadrupoles for the electron beam can be installed far from the collision point, as far away as the proton final triplet (e.g. 23 m) if not further, thanks to the small electron-beam emittance. The inner free space could either be fully donated to the particle-physics detector, or accommodate "slim" dipole magnets providing head-on collisions of electron and proton bunches. We present example layouts for either scenario considering electron beam energies of 60 and 140 GeV, and we discuss the optics for both proton and electron beams, the implied minimum beam-pipe dimensions, possible design parameters of the innermost proton and electron magnets, the corresponding detector acceptance, the synchrotron radiation power and its possible shielding or deflection, constraints from long-range beam-beam interactions as well as from the LHC proton-proton collision points and from the rest of the LHC ring, the passage of the second proton beam, and the minimum beta* for the colliding protons.
