Abstract

The target system envisioned for a Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory calls for a solenoidal magnetic field that tapers from 20 T to 1.5 T over 15 m. Proposed here is a magnet with both superconducting (SC) coils and resistive ones. A set of nineteen large-bore, helium-cooled, cable-in-conduit SC coils contributes ≈ 75% of the peak field - And an even higher percentage elsewhere. Within the bore of the SC magnet is a 12-MW water-cooled resistive magnet of copper hollow conductor insulated with ceramic (MgO) for radiation resistance. The design addresses simultaneous constraints on field profile, superconductor current density, conductor cooling and stresses. Vessels filled with tungsten-carbide pellets (≈ 60% by volume, cooled by water) attenuate the radiation issuing from the 4-MW proton beam impacting the mercury-jet target.
