“…There has been a change of scope as far as the experiment is concerned. The focusing magnet will have a self-centering support system [3] as does the MICE spectrometer solenoid [10] and as is proposed for the MICE and MuCOOL coupling magnets [11].…”

Abstract-The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) focusing solenoid magnets focus the muon beam within the MICE cooling channel on a liquid or solid absorber that is within the warm bore of solenoid. The focusing magnet has a warm bore of 470 mm. This magnet consists of two coils 210-mm long that is separated by an aluminum mandrel that is 200 mm long. Each of the coils has its own leads. The coils may be operated in either the non-flip mode (solenoid mode with both coils at the same polarity) or the flip mode (quadrupole focusing mode where both coils are at opposite polarity). This report describes the focusing solenoid magnet design that will be built by the vendor. The progress on the construction of the first of the focusing magnets will also be discussed in this report. Ultimately three of these magnets will be built. These magnets will be cooled using a pair 1.5 W (at 4.2 K) pulse tube coolers.

“…The final configuration of the central cooling section of the MICE channel will consist of three absorber focus coil modules (AFC modules) and two RF coupling coil modules (RFCC modules). The 1906-mm long RFCC modules [4] separate the three 844-mm long AFC modules [5]. The total MICE channel length is 12.19 meters, excluding the two iron shields and the detectors at the ends of the channel.…”

Abstract-A key issue in the construction of the MICE cooling channel is the magnetic forces between various elements in the cooling channel and the detector magnets. This report describes how the MICE cooling channel magnets are hooked to together so that the longitudinal magnetic forces within the cooling channel can be effectively connected to the base of the experiment. This report presents a magnetic force and stress analysis for the MICE cooling channel magnets, even when longitudinal magnetic forces as large as 700 kN (70 tons) are applied to the vacuum vessel of various magnets within the MICE channel. This report also shows that the detector magnets can be effectively separated from the central MICE cooling channel magnets without damage to either type of magnet component.

“…As a result, the ability for the 4 K cooler to operate in a magnetic field will be one of the selection criteria for the type of cooler to be used. The MICE channel shown in FIGURE 1 has three types of magnet modules, the tracker magnet module [2], the absorber focus coil (AFC) module [3] and the RF coupling coil (RFCC) module [4]. The tracker module consists of a threecoil spectrometer magnet that produces a uniform field and two match coils.…”

Small 4 K coolers are used to cool superconducting magnets. These coolers are usually used with high temperature suerconductor (HTS) leads. In most cases, magnet is shielded with iron or active shield coils. Thus the field at the cooler is low. There are instances when the cooler must be in a magnetic field. Gifford McMahon (GM) coolers or pulse tube coolers are commercially available to cool the magnets. This paper will discuss how the two types of coolers are affected by the stray magnetic field. Strategies for using coolers on magnets that generate stray magnetic fields are discussed
