The scope of the proposal outlined in this white paper is the development and\ndemonstration of the technology needed for next generation of Nb3Sn\naccelerator magnets in the 12-14 T range. The main goal is to cut magnet\ncold-mass cost by a factor 2 or higher with respect to the Nb3Sn magnets\nproduced by the US Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP) for the High-Luminosity\nLarge Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). This goal will be achieved by significant\nreduction of labor hours, higher operating point, and improved performance\nuniformity. A key factor will be automation that will be achieved through\nindustry involvement and benefitting from the experience gained in US national\nlaboratories through the production of the AUP magnets. This partnership will\nenable the development of a technology that will be easily transferable to\nindustry for mid- and large-scale production of Nb3Sn accelerator magnets in\nthe 12-14 T range. This step is essential to enable next generation of\ncolliders such as the FNAL-proposed Muon Collider, FCC and other HEP hadron\ncolliders.\n This is a Directed R&D where direction is given by the field range and\nindustry involvement for high-automation and industry-ready technology. The\nplan includes ten milestones, to be achieved in 6-8 years at the cost of 5-7\nM/year.\n
