Negative axial field gradients prevent unwanted trapped particles from entering “Search Window”

3. March 26, 2012 All Experimenters Meeting 3 Reason for Design Changes Recommendations from May 2011 Independent Design Review –More operating margin for PS –Simplify DS –Better mechanical support for PS coils Value Management exercise in Fall 2011 –Reduce cost of Solenoid project by ~$20M Change in requirements –Field requirements have become less stringent with detailed beam studies  Simplify magnet designs

5. PS Baseline Design Changes All Experimenters Meeting 5 Peak field 5T- I operation ~10kA NbTi Rutherford cable + Ni doped aluminum stabilizer (like ATLAS CS) Indirect Cooling (Thermal Siphon) Hadron absorber intercepts beam secondaries –~20 Watts deposited in coils Nominal peak field 4.6T –5T still possible with reduced margin Reduce number of layers Thinner conductor (lower current) Remove iron yoke   Gradient made by 3 axial coils same turn density but change # of layers Wound on individual bobbins

Ambrosio TS Leader New coil fabrication proposed for better mechanical support. All Experimenters Meeting March 26, 20128 TS1,TS3,TS5: Straight sections with axial gradient TS2/TS4: approximate toroidal field Accomplished by many thin solenoid rings of different amp-turns

9. Coil Fabrication 9 Bolted connections Conductor Al Outer Supports March 26, 2012 Original plan: use SS inner bobbins  mechanical support complications. New plan: fabrication unit consists of two coils with outer support aluminum structure Coils wound on collapsible mandrel-then fit into outer aluminum ring Placement of coil in transport is determined by outer shell geometry All Experimenters Meeting

11. Simplify DS Baseline March 26, 2012 OLD base line –Two coils: gradient + spectrometer bussed in series in a single cryostat –Two layer spectrometer, single mandrel  field uniformity –Two layer gradient on single mandrel with aluminum spacers –Iron return yoke (not shown) 11 All Experimenters Meeting Spectrometer Section Gradient Section

12. Simplify DS Baseline March 26, 2012 Spectrometer Section Gradient Section New base line driven by relaxed field requirements –Modular coil design  reduced cost/coil –Spectrometer: 3 Single Layer Coils  shorter coils, greatly reduced conductor volume, reduced field uniformity OK –Original conductor cost estimate based on expensive PS conductor, smaller field DS requires smaller cross section, no need for special reinforced aluminum –Relaxed calorimeter field requirements  shorten spectrometer 12 All Experimenters Meeting
