Objective
To create a superconducting magnet
for the ATLAS experiment
that provides the optimised magnetic
field configuration for particle bending around the various detectors
in a light and open structure, thus minimizing scattering effects.
Solution
A magnet system that consists of three sub-systems:
It generates a stable, precise and predictable magnetic field in an
enormous volume and is fully integrated with the detectors in an overall
20 x 20 x 25 m3 assembly.
The Barrel Toroid covers the central region and provides some 3 - 8 Tm.
The forward regions are covered by 2 End-Cap Toroids providing 3 - 8 Tm.
The Central Solenoid provides 2 tesla in the central tracking volume.
