Title: Mu2e Solenoid Field Mapping System Design

Abstract

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab plans to search for charged-lepton flavor violation by looking for neutrino-less muon to electron conversion in the field of the nucleus. A complex solenoid system and precise knowledge of its magnetic field play a major role in the experimental approach Mu2e has chosen. It is essential to map the solenoid field up to 10^-4 accuracy. This article describes the design of the Field Mapping System Mu2e will use to measure the magnetic field. Two different mechanical mapper systems, a survey based position determination of the in-house calibrated 3D Hall probes, a motion control system, and a data acquisition and readout system are presented.

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

Mu2e Magnetic Measurements

Conference Buehler, Marc ; Tartaglia, Michael ; Tompkins, John ; ...

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is designed to explore charged lepton flavor violation by searching for muon-to-electron conversion. The magnetic field generated by a system of solenoids is crucial for Mu2e and requires accurate characterization to detect any flaws and to produce a detailed field map. Stringent physics goals are driving magnetic field specifications for the Mu2e solenoids. A field mapper is being designed, which will produce detailed magnetic field maps. The uniform field region of the spectrometer volume requires the highest level of precision (1 Gauss per 1 Tesla). During commissioning, multiple magnetic field maps will be generated tomore »« less

Software Architecture and Hardware Organization in Mu2e Solenoid Field Mapping System

Journal Article Nogiec, Jerzy M. ; Akella, P. ; Feher, S. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

Herein, the Mu2e field mapping system is designed to produce high accuracy field maps of the detector solenoid used in the experiment. The data acquisition system is mobile and uses a self-propelled mapper with rotating arms equipped with 3D Hall probes. The measurements require not only accurate magnetic field readouts, but also accurate locations of all Hall probes while measuring data. The latter is accomplished by using the laser tracker to measure positions of several retroreflectors on the field mapper during data acquisition. The measurement process requires scanning the whole space inside the large solenoid and takes many hours tomore »« less

Study of the Mu2e sensitivity to the $$\mu^-\rightarrow e^+$$ conversion process

Thesis/Dissertation Diociaiuti, Eleonora

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab (Batavia, IL) will search for the coherent neutrinoless conversion of a muon into an electron in the electric field of an aluminum atom. The conversion process results in a monochromatic electron with energy slightly below the muon rest mass (more »« less

The Mu2e Solenoid Cold Mass Position Monitor System

Journal Article Strauss, Thomas ; Feher, Sandor ; Friedsam, Horst W. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

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.
