Conceptual Design of the Mu2e Production Solenoid
The Muon-to-Electron conversion experiment (Mu2e), under development at Fermilab, seeks to detect direct muon to electron conversion to provide evidence for a process violating muon and electron lepton number conservation that cannot be explained by the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The required magnetic field is produced by a series of superconducting solenoids. This paper describes the conceptual design of the 5-T, 4-m-long solenoid with 1.7 m bore with the emphasis on the electromagnetic and structural analyses.
