Funding: This work is supported by funds under the “985-2” plan of HIT. This work is also supported by the Office of Science, US-DOE under DOE contract DE-AC02-05CH11231 and by NSF through NSF-MRI-0722656. The superconducting coupling solenoid for MuCOOL and MICE will have an inside radius of 750 mm, and a coil length of 285 mm. The MuCOOL coupling coil is identical to the MICE coupling coils. The MICE coupling magnet will have a self inductance of 592 H. When operated at it maximum design current of 210 A (the highest momentum operation of MICE), the magnet stored energy will be about 13 MJ. These magnets will be kept cold using a pair of pulse tube cryocoolers that deliver 1.5 W at 4.2 K and 55 W at 60 K. This report describes the progress on the MuCOOL and MICE coupling magnet design and engineering. The progress on the construction of the first coupling coil will also be presented. |
