    Description
    The superconducting magnet system of the ATLAS Detector has four magnets. It provides the magnetic field for the muon- and inner detectors. The Barrel Toroid and Central Solenoid were successfully charged to full field in 2006 and the two End Cap Toroids were charged in the past months. In August a last important step has been performed and the ATLAS Magnet system was charged to its nominal current. Overview of this complex and unique magnet system and some of the lessons learnt are reported. Features of quench detection and protection, cryogenics, vacuum and powering of the magnets will be presented and discussed. Detector Seminar webpage Organizer: Hans Postema PH-CMX
