The upgraded magnet assembly of the EDIPO test facility aims at generating 15 T at 4.2 K and 85% of short sample limit in a large rectangular aperture and over a uniform field length of 1000 mm. During 2020 the design studies have concentrated on two flared-end block-coil design options with four double-pancake coils, two per pole. The coils are planned to be produced using Nb3Sn Rutherford cable with 44 x 1.1 mm diameter strands, which results in significantly larger dimensions compared to the typical cables used in accelerator magnets. Two sections of dummy superconducting cable have been produced, and dedicated tooling was developed to study the wind-ability of such high aspect ratio cable and provide input to define the geometrical parameters of the coil flared ends. This paper describes two magnet designs proposed for EDIPO focusing on the magnetic and the mechanical design.
