Description

The 6D cooling section of a Muon Collider is essential to produce a high-brightness muon beam. To demonstrate the technological feasibility of this system, the IMCC has started a Muon Cooling Demonstrator programme. Within the programme, test stands integrating 3 GHz RF cavities and superconducting solenoids will be developed to test the RF breakdown limit in a 7 T background magnetic field. As key part of the programme, a cooling cell module based on the B5 cell type is currently under study, to validate at engineering scale the integration of a B5-like cooling cell.
The magnets of the test stand and B5-like demonstrator are based on non-insulated high-temperature superconductors (HTS) operating at 20 K. The test stand consists of 250 mm bore split solenoid, generating 7 T field on-axis and gradient of nearly 70 T/m in alternate-polarity mode. It will serve as a proof of technology for the B5-like demonstrator, which consists of two pairs of split solenoids with 370 mm and 570 mm bores, designed to produce a precise magnetic field profile with on-axis field swing of ± 7.3 T, within a compact integration, subject to strong axial forces in the MN range.
In this work, the engineering design of the solenoids of the B5-like demonstrator is presented along with the main design parameters of the RF test facility (RFMFTF v3.2). A focus is given to the technological solutions considered in the design, accounting for the compact magnet layout required for cooling cell integration.
