Title: The Mu2e Solenoid Cold Mass Position Monitor System

Abstract

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is designed to search for charged-lepton flavor violation by looking for muon to electron conversions in the field of the nucleus. The concept of the experiment is to generate a low momentum muon beam, stopping the muons in a target and measuring the momentum of the outgoing electrons. The implementation of this approach utilizes a complex magnetic field composed of graded solenoidal and toroidal fields. The location of the solenoid cold mass relative to external fiducials is needed for alignment as well as monitoring coil movements during cool down and magnet excitation. This study describes a novel design of a Cold Mass Position Monitor System (CMPS) that will be implemented for the Mu2e experiment.

Mu2e Transport Solenoid Cold-Mass Alignment Issues

Journal Article Lopes, M. ; Ambrosio, G. ; Badgley, K. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

The Muon-to-electron conversion experiment (Mu2e) at Fermilab is designed to explore charged lepton flavor violation. It is composed of three large superconducting solenoids: the Production Solenoid (PS), the Transport Solenoid (TS) and the Detector Solenoid (DS). The TS is formed by two magnets: TS upstream (TSu) and downstream (TSd). Each has its own cryostat and power supply. Tolerance sensitivity studies of the position and angular alignment of each coil in this magnet system were performed in the past with the objective to demonstrate that the magnet design meets all the field requirements. Furthermore, the alignment of the cold-masses is criticalmore »« less

Hall Probe Calibration System Design for the Mu2e Solenoid Field Mapping System

Journal Article Orozco, Charles ; Elementi, Luciano ; Feher, Sandor ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

The goal of the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is to search for charged-lepton flavor violation by looking for neutrino-less muon to electron conversion in the field of the nucleus. The Mu2e experimental apparatus utilizes a complex magnetic field in the muon generation and momentum and charge selection process. Precise knowledge of the magnetic field is crucial. It is planned to map the solenoid field with calibrated 3D Hall probes up to 10^-5 accuracy. Here, this article describes a new design of a Hall probe calibration system that will be used to calibrate 3D Hall probes to better than 10^-5 accuracymore »« less

Studies of the Impact of Magnetic Field Uncertainties on Physics Parameters of the Mu2e Experiment

Thesis/Dissertation Bradascio, Federica

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for a signature of charged lepton flavor violation, an effect prohibitively too small to be observed within the Standard Model of particle physics. Therefore, its observation is a signal of new physics. The signature that Mu2e will search for is the ratio of the rate of neutrinoless coherent conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus, relative to the muon capture rate by the nucleus. The conversion process is an example of charged lepton flavor violation. This experiment aims at a sensitivity of four orders of magnitude higher than previousmore »« less

Development of aluminum-stabilized superconducting cables for the Mu2e detector solenoid

Journal Article Lombardo, Vito ; Buehler, M. ; Lamm, M. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

Here, the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is designed to measure the rare process of direct muon-to-electron conversion in the field of a nucleus. The experiment comprises a system of three superconducting solenoids, which focus secondary muons from the production target and transport them to an aluminum stopping target, while minimizing the associated background. The Detector Solenoid (DS) is the last magnet in the transport line and its main functions are to provide a graded field in the region of the stopping target as well as a precision magnetic field in a volume large enough to house the tracker downstream ofmore »« less
