Project Information
Objective
To create a superconducting magnet
for the ATLAS experiment
that provides the optimised magnetic
field configuration for particle bending around the various detectors
in a light and open structure, thus minimizing scattering effects.
Solution
A magnet system that consists of four sub-systems:
It generates a stable, precise and predictable magnetic field in an
enormous volume and is fully integrated with the detectors in an overall
20 x 20 x 25 m3 assembly consisting of 25 coils.
The Barrel and End-Cap Toroids are electrically and magnetically coupled.
The Barrel Toroid covers the central region and generates a field integral
of 3 - 8 Tm.
Both forward regions are covered by an End-Cap Toroid providing 3 - 8 Tm.
The Solenoid produces 2 tesla in the collision point and the central
tracking volume.
The magnet sub-systems share a set of general systems as required for
successfull operation. These common systems provide:
