A design study started in 2014 at CERN for a Future Circular Collider. A new 100 km ring-tunnel for the collider magnets is foreseen as well as new particle detectors to probe electron-positron (ee), electron-hadron (eh) and hadron-hadron collisions (hh). A conceptual design report is due in 2019 for all FCC collider and detector options. Baseline designs for the various Detector magnets were...
The magnet system of the Muon to electron (Mu2e) experiment at Fermilab consists of three solenoid magnets: the Production Solenoid (PS), the Transport Solenoid (TS), and the Detector Solenoid (DS). The S-shaped TS contains 52 coils grouped into modules, which are typically 2 coils shrink fitted into Al shells. These modules are further grouped into units made of 1-3 modules. As part of the...
The ALPHA-g experiment at CERN aims to be the first-ever to precisely weigh antimatter under Earth’s gravity, by “dropping” antihydrogen atoms with a magnet system. The anti-atoms are initially confined inside a vertical octupole and between two end cap coils. The currents in the coils are then gradually decreased to release the anti-atoms. The up -down balance of the escapes depends on...
The MADMAX (MAgnetized Disc and Mirror AXion) project is a dark matter experiment that aims at finding axion particles with masses in the range of 100 µeV. In order to achieve this goal, the chosen approach is to use a detector comprised of many magnetized dielectric discs put in parallel in front of a mirror. The relevant level of magnetic induction needed to increase the probability of...
Searching for axion like particles is one of the top priorities in particle physics. Using helioscopes is a promising technology to detect solar axions. The conceptual design of the state-of-the-art facility, the International Axion Observatory (IAXO), has resulted in a 22 m-long / 660 MJ stored energy, toroidal magnet system comprising 8 racetrack coils. In order to ensure readiness of the...
The Precision Experiment on Neutron Lifetime Operating with Proton Extraction (PENeLOPE) will use a large superconducting multipole magnet to trap ultracold neutrons. To achieve this, a large volume of 750$~$L needs to be enclosed within a steep magnetic-field gradient of at least 2$~$T, requiring a unique multipole arrangement with a high current density of 316$~$A/mm$^2$ and thin support...
