Abstract

A prototype thin superconducting solenoid magnet has been developed to verify technical feasibility of an advanced thin superconducting solenoid magnet with a magnetic field of 2 T in a cylindrical volume of 3.4 m /spl phi//spl times/9 m and with a transparency of 1.2 radiation length (Xo). The magnet is required to have a stored energy/effective cold mass (E/M) ratio of 7.5 kJ/kg. The technical goal has been successfully achieved with realizing E/M=9.6 kJ/kg as a result of the prototype R&D. The prototype development and test results are presented.<>
