Cryogenic system for the Muon g-2 Superconducting Magnet

  • 1. Brookhaven National Lab., Upton, NY (United States)

Description

A cryogenic system for the Muon g-2 Superconducting Magnet was built at Brookhaven National Laboratory, U.S.A.. The g-2 magnet consists of four large superconducting solenoids which are up to 15.1 meters in diameter with a total cold mass of 6.2 tons. The superconducting solenoids are indirectly cooled by using forced two-phase helium in tubes which are up to 200 meters in length. The J-T circuit of a refrigerator is capable of delivering 625 W at 4.5 K. The solenoids are powered through a pair of 5300A multi-tube gas-cooled electrical leads. (author)
