Abstract
A superconducting transport solenoid for Decay Muon Line (D-line) at J-PARC Muon Science Facility was newly designed and manufactured. It was designed to generate a magnetic field in relatively large region (warm bore diameter 0.2 m), while keeping the same outer dimensions, connection interfaces to the existing refrigerator and the power supply of the previous machine [1-3]. Major changes of both solenoids are the reduction of the central magnetic field, the equipment of a warm bore and the adoption of the high Tc current leads. After the installation to the beam line, the initial cooling test, the excitation test and the emergency shutdown test at the rated current were conducted by KEK in order to confirm cryogenic and magnetic performance. These tests were successfully performed with no damege and indicated the solenoid was precisely manufactured and fulfilled the requirements. The solenoid has been under operation since July, 2015. This report describes the design, the manufacturing process, the magnetic field measurement at room temperature and the results of performance tests conducted by KEK.
