This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the force & torque neutral dipole and the balanced conical solenoid as alternatives to the twin solenoid for the FCC detector. It compares their field integrals and explores their mechanical stability. It also highlights the potential of combining the balanced conical solenoid with a smaller dipole for higher η values.

Force & Torque Neutral Dipole versus Balanced Conical Solenoid- FCC detector meeting, March 3, 2016 - Matthias Mentink on behalf of FCC detector magnet group
Motivation Twin Solenoid + Force & Torque Neutral Dipoles • Advantage: Full coverage, i.e. good field integral for η = 0 to ∞ • Disadvantage: Very large dipoles (stored energy: 1.5 GJ) in stray field (> 1 T) of twin solenoid, very large internal forces and torques, heavy & expensive. Is there a good alternative? Force & Torque Neutral Dipole: Challenging to build
Content • Twin Solenoid • Force & Torque Neutral Dipole • Balanced Conical Solenoid • Comparison of field integrals • Summary
1. Twin Solenoid Counter-clockwise current 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 B [T] Clockwise current Radial position R [m] -12 -8 -4 0 4 8 12 Axial position Z [m] • Twin Solenoid: Combines two superconducting solenoids with opposite flowing currents: • Inner solenoid with 12 m free bore, 6 T in the center. • Outer solenoid returns flux and reduces stray field • (5 mT boundary: RZ=0 = 29 m, Rwidest = 40 m, ZR=0 = 62 m). • Minimum shaft diameter reduced to 27.5 m Stored energy increased to 62 GJ.
2. Force and Torque Neutral Dipole Twin Solenoid y x Main dipole coil Lateral dipole coil z • Combination of solenoidal + perpendicular dipole field Force & Torque • Twin Solenoid + unbalanced forward dipole: Fy = 27 MN, Tx = 210 MNm. • Lateral dipole coils with opposite current provide counter torque and force • Net zero force and torque, but large internal forces and torques inside cold mass. • Mechanical stability: • 0.1 m displacement Fy = 42 kN, Tx = 0.5 MNm in worst case scenario. • Mechanical constraints required, in particular along y direction.
3. New option: a Balanced Conical Solenoid (BCS) magnet 20 15 10 5 0 0.1 T B [T] 0.2 T 0.3 T 0.5 T Balancing coil (Counter clockwise) Radial position R [m] Conical coil (Clockwise) -25 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 5 10 15 20 25 Axial position Z [m] • Balanced Conical Solenoid • Conical solenoid augments bending power of twin solenoid for pseudo-rapidity η≥ 2.5 • Just conical solenoid, axial force: 280 MN toward TS • Addition of balancing coil: Makes not just cold mass, but each individual coil force and torque neutral • Mechanical stability: • Stable in axial direction, unstable in off-axis directions: dT/do=-2.9 MNm/o, dFz/dz=-1.9 MN/m, dFx/dx=+1.1 MN/m • Supports needed, in particular in off-axis direction
4. Field integral ‘seen’ by tracker: TS, TS+BCS, dipole Inner tracker boundary, r = 2.5 m, z = 8 m Forward tracker boundary, z = 23 m Cross-over Cross-over • Comparison: • Addition of BCS: ≈2x field integral enhancement with respect to just TS. • TS + BCS versus dipole: Field integral of dipole better for η > 3.1, double field integral better for η > 4. • For η > 4, balanced conical solenoid may be augmented with low-angle dipole weighing tons, not hundreds of tons. • Is Balanced Conical Solenoid a valid alternative for the dipole?
5. Summary Comparison of Balanced Conical Solenoid versus Force & Torque Neutral Dipole: Force and torque neutral configurations through balancing: • Force & Torque Neutral Dipole: Net force and torque are zero, but large forces and torques exist between coils. • Balanced Conical Solenoid: Each individual coil is in a net force and torque neutral configuration. Cold mass comparison: • Cold mass about 300-400 tons. • Balanced Conical Solenoid has more stored energy (~2x), but.; also a more homogeneous force distribution, reducing need for support structure. Field integrals of TS + BCS versus dipole: • Cross-over point of field integral at η = 3.1 • Cross-over point of double field integral at η = 4 • Balanced Conical Solenoid may be combined with a much smaller dipole for high η.
