Abstract

FASER, the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment, is designed to search for new, yet undiscovered, light and weakly-interacting particles and study the interactions of high-energy neutrinos. Three dipoles, one 1.5 m-long and the other two 1.0 m-long each, installed upstream of the ATLAS experiment at CERN, are required to achieve sufficient separation of pairs of oppositely charged, high-energy Standard Model particles originating from decays of new physics particles. The dipoles have an aperture of 200 mm in diameter and a required magnetic field at the centre ≥ 0.55 T. Due to tight space constraints, a design based on permanent magnet technology was proposed. This paper describes the design, manufacturing, assembly and magnetic measurement of these large Halbach array dipoles.
