I'd never even heard of HIF. I wonder how it could scale with today's superconductors, which are far better than what we had in the 70s.

Off the cuff I'd speculate that superconducting magnets that can support 2x the magnetic field might support 2x the accelerating gradient but we are talking AC operation here, not DC.
