Detector magnets for high-energy physics: ATLAS and CMS at CERN.

Aimants de détecteurs pour la physique des hautes énergies : ATLAS et CMS au CERN.

Author(s) : VÉDRINE P.

Summary

Two experiments aimed at discovering the Higgs boson were set upon the LHC accelerator: ATLAS and CMS. Each experiment uses a specific configuration to generate the magnetic field required to measure the application of particles created during collisions. The ATLAS field is generated by a group of 3 toroids, measuring 26 metres long with a 20-m diameter, as well as by a central solenoid of a 2.5-m diameter. On CMS, the field is created by a superconducting solenoid with a nominal field of 4 T on a surface with a 5.9-m diameter and 12.5-m length. The main technical specifications selected for the design of these magnets are described: conductors, coils, windings, cryostat, integrations, cooling mode, power supply and protection, etc.
