Abstract
The MICE coupling solenoids surround the RF cavities that are used to increase the longitudinal momentum of the muon beam that is being cooled within MICE. The coupling solenoids will have a warm-bore diameter of 1394 mm. This is the warm bore that is around the 200 MHz RF cavities. The coupling solenoid is a single superconducting coil fabricated from a copper matrix Nb-Ti conductor originally designed for MRI magnets. A single coupling magnet is designed so that it can be cooled with a single 1.5 W (at 4.2 K) cooler. The MICE cooling channel has two of these solenoids, which will be hooked together in series, for a magnet circuit with a total stored-energy of the order of 12.8 MJ. Quench protection for the coupling coils is discussed. This report also presents the mechanical and thermal design parameters for this magnet, including the results of finite element calculations of mechanical forces and heat flow in the magnet cold mass.
