Abstract

GASSOL magnetic gas-filled separator is a new experimental setup being developed at the Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. It is intended for the effective study of chemical properties of short-lived superheavy elements [1]. One of the main components of this facility is the superconducting solenoid magnet weighing about 20 ton, designed to create an axially symmetric magnetic field. The paper provides a description of the design, manufacturing technology and assembly of the magnet, as well as the results of mechanical, electromagnetic and thermal calculations to justify its design. The design magnetic field in the aperture of the separator ion chamber with a diameter of 273 mm is 7.6 T.
