SOLENOID BACKGROUND
- Shown here are some typical features common to many superconducting solenoid magnet
systems. TwinSol's magnets were manufactured by Cryomagnetics, Inc. of Oak Ridge, TN (send
mail to: Cryomagnetics@aol.com) based on
designs provided by the University of Michigan Nuclear Physics Group.
The original concept of a dual superconducting solenoid spectrometer is from J.P. Schapira, et al [1,2] at IPN-ORSAY. The specific designs for TwinSol are based upon our group's experiences with using superconducting solenoids to utilize and study secondary radioactive nuclear beams [3,4,5,6,7]. The solenoid shown at the left (BIGSOL) [8] is a large ( 7 tesla, 40 cm warm-bore ) magnet that is similar to the ones used in TwinSol. This particular magnet was installed by our group at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. A smaller 3.5T solenoid (L'ilSol) was used for many years at UND for RNB research.
