As a part of the proposed electron lens system for RHIC, two 6 T, 200 mm aperture, 2.5 meter long superconducting solenoids are being designed and built at BNL. Because of several demanding requirements this has become a unique and technologically advanced magnet. For example, the field lines on axis must be straight over the length of the solenoid within ±50 microns. Since this is beyond the normal construction techniques, a correction package becomes an integral part of the design for which a new design has been developed. In addition, a minimum of 0.3 T field is required along the electron beam trajectory in the space between magnets. To achieve this fringe field superconducting solenoidal coils have been added at the two ends of the main solenoid. The main solenoid itself is a challenging magnet because of the high Lorentz forces and stored energy associated with the large aperture and high fields. An innovative structure has been developed to deal with the large axial forces at the ends. This paper will summarize the magnetic design and optimization of the entire package consisting of the main solenoid, the fringe field solenoids, and the corrector system. |
