TD Designs for mu2e Solenoid Magnets Michael Lamm for the Mu2e Collaboration and TD/Magnet Systems Dept. All Experimenters’ Meeting January 25, 2010

All Experimentors Meeting 2 What is Mu2e? Measure the Rare Process:  - + N  e- + N relative to  - + N(A,Z)  + N(A, X) –Goal: 4 orders of magnitude increase in sensitivity over previous experiments Strategy : –Stopped muons in aluminum atom: high probability of interaction Significant overlap of muon and nucleus wave functions –Kinematically constrained  - + N  e- + N produces mono- energetic electrons –Use lifetime of muon in atom to suppress “prompt backgrounds” Out of time pions, p-bars, electrons in muon channel are a serious problem Magnets role in Mu2e –Transport as many in-time, stoppable muons as possible –Prevent out of time other particles from reaching stopping target –Provide a uniform stable field for the final captured electron spectrometer

January 25, 2010 All Experimentors Meeting 4 Magnet Procurement Strategy Fermilab will act as a “General Contractor”: PS and DS will likely be built in industry –Need to develop a strong conceptual design and technical specifications for vendors –Final engineering design done by industry –Similar strategy for most detector solenoids TS will likely be designed/built “in house” –Cryostat, mechanical supports built by outside vendors –Coils wound in-house or industry depending on technology choice –Final assemble and test at Fermilab Fermilab responsible for all interfaces and infrastructure –Significant magnet coupling between PS-TS and TS-DS –Tight mechanical interfaces –Cryoplant, power supplies, instrumentation…
