TL;DR
This paper discusses the development of high-field superconducting magnets using Bi-2212/Ag for potential LHC energy upgrades, highlighting recent technological advances and ongoing challenges.
Contribution
It presents the progress and challenges in developing 20 T dipole magnets with Bi-2212/Ag superconductors for collider energy enhancement.
Findings

Current technology is still insufficient for 20 T magnet requirements.
Ongoing development aims to achieve the necessary performance for LHC upgrades.
Abstract
Increasing the energy of the LHC would require a ring of \sim20 T magnets using the superconductors Nb3Sn and Bi-2212/Ag. The technology for Bi-2212/Ag wire, cable, and coil has advanced significantly but is still far short of the performance needed for such magnets. New technol-ogy for both wire and cable is under development, which if successful would yield the needed performance.
