Construction and testing of a 3 m diameter × 5 m superconducting solenoid for the fermilab collider detector facility (CDF)

Precise measurement of theW-boson mass with the Collider Detector at Fermilab

“…The entire tracking system is immersed in a 1.4 T magnetic field generated by a superconducting solenoid [29] with a length of 5 m and a radius of 1.5 m. A χ 2 minimization procedure is used to reconstruct the helical trajectory of a charged particle using COT hit positions. The trajectory is defined in terms of five parameters: the signed transverse impact parameter with respect to the nominal beam axis d 0 ; the azimuthal angle at closest approach to the beam ϕ 0 ; the longitudinal position at closest approach to the beam z 0 ; the cotangent of the polar angle cot θ; and the curvature c ≡ ð2RÞ −1 , where R is the radius of curvature.…”

ILC Reference Design Report Volume 4 - Detectors

“…[86]. The CDF solenoid established a fundamental technology of the "co-extruded aluminum stabilized superconductor" [92] which has become a standard for the detector magnet based on the pioneer work for the colliding beam detector solenoid at ISR [93] and CELLO [94]. The TOPAZ solenoid established the "inner winding" technique to eliminate the inner coil mandrel [95].…”

Reference Design of the Mu2e Detector Solenoid

“…The coils are wound onto a collapsible mandrel. The recommended tension and the compaction criteria during the winding process are similar to what was for the CDF central solenoid [7]. The layers for the two layer coils are wound continuously and sheets of dry E-glass insulation (0.5 mm thick) are introduced between the coil layers.…”
