Estimated shielding factors: I Transverse shielding factor, S T, for n-layer configuration of infinitely-long concentric cylinders Sumner, Pendlebury, and Smith, J. Phys. D 20, 1095 (1987) Proper evaluation requires a value of μ i for each layer μ n = μ(H) for H = H ext μ n-1 = μ(H) for H = H ext / [ shielding from n th layer alone ] μ n-2 = μ(H) for H = H ext / [ shielding from n th + (n-1) th layers ] … μ-metal Cryoperm at 4K

Estimated shielding factors: I Results for lower cryostat shielding Four-layer conventional shield + 4K ferromagnetic [ Cryoperm ] shield Presence of superconducting shielding ignored Layerr [cm]μ(H)Accumulated S T 4122.115900Layer 4: 11.3 3117.0170000Layers 4+3: 221.2 2111.9100000Layers 4+3+2: 1663.7 1106.970000Layers 4+3+2+1: 10116.8 C62.270600Layers 4+3+2+1+C: 6.60 х 10 5 Residual Shielded Field = 7.6 х 10 -7 Gauss Ideal case: infinitely-long cylinders, no penetrations, no end-caps

Estimated shielding factors: I Results for upper cryostat shielding Four-layer conventional shield only Layerr [cm]μ(H)Accumulated S T 4111.915900Layer 4: 12.2 3106.8170000Layers 4+3: 261.8 2101.8100000Layers 4+3+2: 2282.4 196.770000Layers 4+3+2+1: 1.61 х 10 4 Residual Shielded Field = 3.1 х 10 -5 Gauss Ideal case: infinitely-long cylinders, no penetrations, no end-caps Proposed inner ferromagnetic shield will provide greater shielding factor, comparable to lower cryostat

Estimated shielding factors: II Zeroth-order finite-element analysis calculation of shielding factors [TOSCA → ASU collaborators] Finite-length concentric cylinders without end-caps Lower and upper cryostats considered separately 4-layer conventional shield Cryoperm shield H = 0.5 Gauss transverse field

Estimated shielding factors: II Results for lower cryostat shielding Four-layer conventional shield + 4K ferromagnetic [ Cryoperm ] shield Presence of superconducting shielding ignored TOSCA result for residual field in the center of symmetry of the five concentric layers 1.77 х 10 -6 Gauss Within factor of ~2 of estimation assuming infinitely-long cylinders TOSCA results as function of length of the four-layer conventional shield

Shielding factor optimization Inspection of the formulas for the transverse shielding factor suggests that S T can be enhanced via a judicious choice of the radii If (r j /r k ) sufficiently small, S T ~ S i T S j T S k T...

Shielding factor optimization Inspection of the formulas for the transverse shielding factor suggests that S T can be enhanced via a judicious choice of the radii If (r j /r k ) sufficiently small, S T ~ S i T S j T S k T... Carried out a grid search over radii of four-layer shield 4K ferromagnetic shield and inner-most layer of four-layer shield radii fixed Baseline configuration ~220 m 2 for lower cryostat ~ 67 m 2 for upper cryostat Computed S T for the radii of each grid combination, then estimated cost by scaling material costs to surface areas → ~70% of the cost for the shield will be material cost (more later about costs…)

Shielding factor optimization Lower cryostat Upper cryostat
13
Calculations: future TOSCA First approximation Finite-length cylinders, no end-caps Ignore lower-cryostat and upper-cryostat connecting “tee” Transverse and axial shielding factors Verify results of layer spacing optimization Second approximation Add end-caps with geometry similar to that in Jan’s “latest reference design” Optimize the geometry of the end-caps Full model Join the lower-cryostat and upper-cryostat cylinders Model penetrations through the structure
14
Production of the shield Vendor selected is Amuneal Located in Philadelphia (in the north-side ghetto…) Magnetic shields we have procured from Amuneal for our R&D activities have all been delivered on-time Recently, have provided a free Cryoperm shield (valued at ~$3000) as part of joint R&D efforts between Caltech and Amuneal Delivered a ~1/4-scale multi-layer shield to J. Kirschvink at Caltech (geophysics) Provided magnetic shielding for JLab, BNL, SNS (Beam Line 15), … ; now in discussions of magnetic shielding requirements for the ILC Preliminary design review conducted on-site at Amuneal on March 6, 2006 B. Filippone, J. Boissevain, W. Sondheim, S. Currie, and BP
15
Production of the shield Driving constraint for production is the size of their furnace 5’ diameter х 12’ long Assembly will consist of many “panels” For magnetic continuity, Amuneal has proposed using 4”-wide battens along the circumferential and horizontal seams to be tightened with aluminum clamps Envisage an Al support structure for the shield Tied into the main support structure for the lower and upper cryostats, without transferring any of the load from the cryostats onto the μ-metal Implicit that Amuneal will provide the Al spacers between the layers Also implicit that Amuneal will construct the Al support structure, and “protective covering” for outer-most layer
16
Assembly issues Modular assembly Lower cryostat shielding around the measurement cells → permits B-field tests, etc. in lower cryostat Region near “rear” end-caps easily removable Upper cryostat shielding, after ready to drop in upper cryostat “guts” “Top” end-caps “Rail system” for removing “rear” end-caps for access to B-field coils and measurement cells Upper cryostat “cut in half”, for access to interior after installation Serious integration issues !!
17
Time scale Now – April 2008: Design for shield, support structure, degaussing system, integration issues, etc. April 2008 – December 2008: Procurement period Cost fixed at time of PO Shielding shipped via semi-truck to Caltech for test assembly/installation starting January 2009 in high-bay area Measure residual fields Shielding used for tests of all B-field coils to be fabricated at Caltech/ASU Installation of shielding structure and magnets at ORNL beginning November 2009
