Abstract

The last two years have seen the completion of the integration and the cryostating of 8 superconducting coil windings for the ATLAS Barrel Toroid air-core magnet (BT). The Barrel Toroid is a 20 m in diameter, 25 m long and 5 m wide superconducting magnet for ATLAS, one of the two experiments dedicated to the search of the Higgs boson, which will be installed on the LHC ring at CERN in 2006. The paper presents the last steps of this integration progress which ends with the cold acceptance tests. A special emphasis is put on the integration of the cold mass into the vacuum vessel. The integration of the windings in their coil casings has been completed in October 2003 and the last coil cryostating was performed in June 2005. The BT coils are now being installed in the ATLAS cavern at CERN
