Construction and Testing of the Two-Meter-Diameter TPC Thin Superconducting Solenoid

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 35 A))

Abstract

The TPC experiment at PEP is one of several colliding beam experiments which use thin superconducting solenoid magnets. The CELLO experiment at PETRA in Hamburg, Germany and a detector for the ISR at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland use superconductors with an aluminum matrix[1–3]. The TPC magnet and a magnet to be used at Cornell University use the concept of a shorted secondary circuit to protect a high-current-density copper-based superconductor[4].
