The Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2) at KEK is a scaled down version of the final focus design proposed for the future linear colliders (LC) and aims to experimentally verify the final focus (FF) technology needed to obtain very small, stable beam spots at a LC interaction point. Initially the ATF2 FF is made using conventional (warm) quadrupole and sextupole magnets; however, we propose to upgrade the FF by replacing some of the conventional magnets with new superconducting magnets constructed with the same technology as those of the International Linear Collider baseline FF magnets*. With the superconducting magnet upgrade we can look to achieve smaller interaction point beta-functions and to study superconducting magnet vibration stability in an accelerator environment. Therefore for the ATF2 R&D magnet we endeavor to incorporate cryostat design features that facilitate monitoring of the cold mass movement via interferometric techniques. The design status of the ATF2 superconducting upgrade magnets is reported in this paper.

Pushing accelerator magnets beyond 10 T holds a promise of future upgrades to machines like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Nb3Sn conductor is at the present time the only practical superconductor capable of generating fields beyond 10 T. In support of the LHC Phase-II upgrade, the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP) is developing a large bore (120mm) IR quadrupole (HQ) capable of reaching 15 T at its conductor peak field. The 1 m long two-layer coil, based on the design of the LARP TQ quadrupole series that achieved 230 T/m in a 90 mm bore, will demonstrate additional features such as alignment and accelerator field quality while exploring the magnet performance limits in terms of gradient, forces and stresses. In this paper we summarize the design and report on the magnet construction progress.
