Proton and heavy-ion linacs with superconducting cavities require compact lattices to suppress emittance growth in the low-velocity region. For beam focusing superconducting solenoids are superior in this regard to normal conducting quadrupoles. A superconducting solenoid with integral x-y steering coils has been fabricated for the Project-X Injector Experiment (PXIE) half-wave resonator cryomodule. It is capable of generating 6 T solenoidal fields and dipole steering fields of 30 T•mm field integrals in both of transverse directions. We experimentally investigated issues for practical use of this solenoid in cryomodules including: 1) the superposition of dipole steering fields on solenoidal fields, 2) the magnetic axis of the solenoid with respect to the mechanical references in cryogenic temperatures, and 3) the residual magnetic field generated by the solenoid on the superconducting RF cavity surfaces even after degaussing; a 72 MHz quarter wave resonator was used for this experiment. In this paper, we present details of experimental setup and results.
