The SSC Superconducting Air Core Toroid Design Development

  • Chapter
Supercollider 2

Abstract

Superconducting air core toroids show great promise for use in a muon spectrometer for the SSC 1,2. Early studies by SUNY at Stony Brook funded by SSC Laboratory, have established the feasibility of building magnets of the required size3. The toroid spectrometer consists of a central toroid with two end cap toroids. The configuration under development provides for muon trajectory measurement outside the magnetic volume. System level studies on support structure, assembly, cryogenic material selection, and power are performed. Resulting selected optimal design and assembly is described.
