“…Since, at large particle momenta, the resolution of magnetic spectrometers degrades proportionally to momentum itself [24], a high tracking accuracy and/or bending power of the magnet is required, increasing the cost and the complexity of the experiment. Solutions like these ones are usually reached using superconducting magnets [4], which are only recently being prototyped for future space missions [25][26][27][28].…”

Analyzing the isotopic composition of cosmic rays (CRs) provides valuable insights into the galactic environment and helps refine existing propagation models. A particular interest is devoted to secondary-to-primary ratios of light isotopic components of CRs, the measurement of which can provide complementary information with respect to secondary-to-primary ratios like B/C. Given the complexity of the concurrent measurement of velocity and momentum required to differentiate isotopes of the same Z, a task typically accomplished using magnetic spectrometers, existing measurements of these ratios only effectively characterize the low-energy region (below 1 GeV/nucl). This study introduces a novel technique for isotopic distinction in CRs at high energies up to 100 GeV/nucl based on multiple scattering, which, combined with the proposed measurement of velocity, represent an interesting alternative to magnetic spectrometers. The performance of this technique was assessed through a dedicated simulation using the GEANT4 package, with specific emphasis on Z = 1 isotopes.

The ARCOS magnet is a 12-coil toroidal magnet for a proposed next-generation magnetic spectrometer in space. AMaSED-2 is a small-scale non-flight demonstrator coil for the ARCOS magnet. AMaSED-2 consists of two individually built no-insulation high-temperature superconducting pancake coils with racetrack-like shapes. The two pancake coils contain in total 724 m of 12 mm wide SuperPower REBCO HTS tape. Copper bands functioning as current leads and layer jump surround the winding blocks. An aluminum structure mechanically supports the coil assemblies. AMaSED-2 was manufactured and tested at CERN. The coil was tested in cryogenic helium gas at various temperatures between 10 K and 77 K by measuring the center magnetic flux density while varying the operating current. We employ a model for no-insulation coils and identify for each temperature the center magnet constant and magnet charging time constant as system parameters. We also determine the radial resistance, peak magnet constant, critical current, and maximum achieved magnetic flux densities. Central magnetic flux densities up to 2.9 T were measured, corresponding to a peak magnetic flux density on the coil of 9.7 T. The design and characterization of AMaSED-2 provides a base for future magnet development of a flight model.
