The CERN EP department has launched an R&D program on the next generation particle detectors and magnets. In this context a superconducting magnet is designed for a multi-purpose beam test facility to be used for detector prototype testing. The facility will serve as a replacement of the existing M1 and Morpurgo magnets that have been in operation since the late 70s in the experimental north...
In the framework of the consolidation of the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) Target Area it was decided to replace the two original normal conducting quadrupoles used for the final focussing of the proton beam before the target by two 1-m-long quadrupoles based on permanent magnet technology. Their gradient is adjustable from 35 to 45 T/m inside an aperture of 60 mm in diameter. This paper...
The CSR external-target experiment (CEE) will be China’s first self-developed nuclear research experimental facility operating in the GeV regime based on the large-scale scientific facilities HIRFL-CSR. One of its core components is a dipole magnet with a large gap and wide acceptance. Unlike traditional large spectrometer magnets, the physical target of the CEE requires a highly stable,...
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 consists of 52 superconducting coils which are grouped in units of 2-5 coils. The units undergo an acceptance testing campaign which includes a liquid helium temperature cold test...
PERC is a novel experiment in the field of low energy particle physics under construction at the FRM II in Garching, Germany. The project aims to investigate angular correlations and energy spectra in the β-decay of free cold neutrons.
PERC consists of 13 superconducting solenoid coils. In a 6 m section of the 8 m long decay solenoid e- & p+ form neutron decay are accumulated. At the end of...
The Mu2e field mapping system is designed to produce high accuracy field maps of the detector solenoid used in the experiment. The data acquisition system is mobile and uses a self-propelled mapper with rotating arms equipped with 3D Hall probes. The measurements require not only accurate readouts of magnetic field, but also accurate location of all the Hall probes when taking data. The...
Bilfinger NOELL GmbH is active in the field of superconducting magnets for particle traps. We report on two types of traps: a magnet for a neutron trap and several magnets for antiproton traps.
Bilfinger NOELL has developed, manufactured and delivered a large volume magnetic storage device for ultra-cold neutrons to Technical University of Munich in June 2020. The magnet of PENeLOPE...
