摘要
Purpose A capture superconducting solenoid is designed for the Experimental Muon Source(EMuS)which is proposed at China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS)in Dongguan for muon science and neutrino physics research.The capture superconducting solenoid of the EMuS consists of four coils with different radius generating a peak central field of 5 T at 3944 A of nominal current.Methods The aluminum-stabilized NbTi Rutherford cable is used to wind the solenoid coils.Iron yokes are arranged for flux returning and field shielding.Ti alloy Ti-6Al-4V rods are adopted to support the cold mass.The vacuum vessel of the solenoid is manufactured by 304 stainless steel.The coils are pre-stressed by interference fits assembly,the outer support cylinder or binding the coils with aluminum alloy wire in order to reduce the peak stress of the coils.The parameters of the coils such as the thickness and the tensile stress of the binding wire and the thickness of the outer support cylinder have been optimized in order to minimize the cold mass by using FEA software.Results The maximum stress in the winding is allowable with two layers of 40 mm thickness outer support cylinder through interference fits assembly.But the maximum stress in the winding is allowable with 40 mm thickness of binding wire and 30 mm thickness of outer support cylinder.Conclusion The method of binding the windings with aluminum alloy wire is suggested to be used to manufacture the solenoid.This paper presents the mechanical design and analysis of the capture superconducting solenoid for EMuS.
