In process of fabricating (~90% complete) a 17%-scale prototype with optimized N=34, ℓ/r = 6.4 [ r = 10.9 cm, ℓ = 69.7 cm ]

Correction should exacerbate gradient !!

B. PlasternEDM November 2007 Collaboration Meeting
Instead of trying to achieve “perfection”, instead decided to correct with a gradient coil
Unwanted gradient ~linear

Will no doubt face similar problems in “real” experiment

With ferromagnetic shield at 300 K
Known for some time that N=34 uniformity worsens in presence of ferromagnetic shield
Hence, reason for design of “modified” cos θ coils with wire positions offset from nominal

Pb superconducting shield tests
B. PlasternEDM November 2007 Collaboration Meeting
Pb superconducting shield
Radius = 9.5 cm
Length = 100.0 cm
Accommodates N=40 prototype cos θ coil + ferromagnetic shield
4K dewar from J. Eisenstein group (Caltech condensed-matter)Baffled heat-shield neck (5 layers of Cu-coated PCB)
Feedthroughs for probe (z-motion only), leads, sensors, etc.
Pb Tc = 7.2 K
1/16”-thick, on Al frame
Pb superconducting shield tests
B. PlasternEDM November 2007 Collaboration Meeting
First set of tests, August 2007
Initial cooldown of Pb shield from ~100K required ~60 ℓ of LHeOnly one temperature sensor mounted at top of shield
One initial test, (only) Earth’s field locked-in during transition through Tc
80 Gauss axial field (Helmholtz coil) applied after T < Tc
Probe oriented for axial measurements, Bz(z)
Lower limit on axial shielding factor of ~ 200 (limited by power supply)
top of shield
consistent with
residual background
80 G
Pb superconducting shield tests
B. PlasternEDM November 2007 Collaboration Meeting
Second set of tests, early-September 2007Setup to test N=40 cos θ coil +
ferromagnetic shield mounted within Pb shield
Received 2 new temperature sensors, mounted near bottom/middle of PbTest failed, unable to cool entire assembly to 4 K with 120 ℓ LHe
Later hypothesized that an Al plate that coupled cos θ coil onto its support stand obstructed flow of LHe to bottom of dewar
Idea was to map Bx(z) for coil+ferro+Pb, compare with TOSCA
Pb superconducting shield tests
B. PlasternEDM November 2007 Collaboration Meeting
Third set of tests, mid-September 2007
Identical setup of N=40 + ferro + Pb
Coupler support plate reamed out
Leads for 3 temperature sensors, cos θ coil DC leads, degaussing coil AC leads, magnetometer probe, etc.
Successfully cooled entire assembly from ~100 K to 4 K with 120 ℓ LHeT < Tc for ~30 hours
No LHe level sensor

Map of Bx(z) for N=40 cos θ coil + Metglas + Pb at 4 K
Thanks to S. Balascuta (ASU) for TOSCA calculations
Precision limited by “hand mapping”
Pb superconducting shield tests
B. PlasternEDM November 2007 Collaboration Meeting
During warmup, field at center recorded every ~3 seconds
Demonstration of effectiveness of superconducting shield at screening time-varying backgrounds
Power supply stability better than ~5 × 10−5; fluctuations at T > Tc from background fluctuations leaking through ferromagnetic shield
Future R&D work
B. PlasternEDM November 2007 Collaboration Meeting
Attention now focused on construction of a 1/2-scale prototype modified cos θ coil and ferromagnetic shield

6’ + 1.5’ (glued)
3-ring set of acrylic “rings”
Not “true” cos θ coil; wire positions optimized for uniformity in presence of ferromagnetic shield

Status
Acrylic materials on hand since August 2007
Machining to be done at the Caltech HEP shop
Plagued by delays at machine shop (i.e., were considered low priority)Recently (last week, after 2-month delay) HEP shop arranged for outside shop to start machining on the acrylic rings
Also in process of upgrading our automated mapping system to accommodate the 1/2-scale coil and the 1/2-scale dewar
Goal is first results (perhaps not best !!) by April/May/June time-scale
25’-tall structure, Caltech HEP high-bay area
