The goal of the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is to search for charged-lepton flavor violation by looking for neutrino-less muon to electron conversion in the field of the nucleus. The Mu2e ...experimental apparatus utilizes a complex magnetic field in the muon generation and momentum and charge selection process. Precise knowledge of the magnetic field is crucial. It is planned to map the solenoid field with calibrated three-dimensional (3-D) Hall probes up to 10 -5 accuracy. This article describes a new design of a Hall probe calibration system that will be used to calibrate 3-D Hall probes to better than 10 -5 accuracy for the Mu2e solenoid field mapping system.

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab plans to search for charged-lepton flavor violations by looking for neutrino-less muon to electron conversions in the field of the nucleus. A complex solenoid system ...and precise knowledge of its magnetic field play a major role in the experimental approach Mu2e has chosen. It is essential to map the solenoid field up to 10 -4 accuracy. This article describes the design of the Field Mapping System Mu2e will use to measure the magnetic field. Two different mechanical mapper systems, a survey-based position determination of the in-house calibrated three-dimensional Hall probes, a motion control system, and a data acquisition and readout system are presented.
The muon-to-electron conversion (Mu2e) experiment at Fermilab will be used to search for the charged lepton flavor-violating conversion of muons to electrons in the field of an atomic nucleus. The ...Mu2e experiment is currently in the design and construction stage and is expected to begin operations in 2022. The Mu2e experiment uses four large superconducting solenoid magnets including a Production Solenoid (PS), an Upstream and Downstream Transport Solenoid (TSu and TSd) and a Detector Solenoid (DS). This paper will focus on the cryogenic distribution system for these four solenoid magnets. Liquid helium will be supplied from two re-purposed Tevatron satellite refrigerators. A large cryogenic distribution box (DB) is located in the Mu2e building to distribute the required cryogens to each of the four solenoid magnets. Each solenoid magnet will have a dedicated transfer line and cryogenic feed box (FB). The solenoid magnets each require two liquid helium circuits and two liquid nitrogen circuits. The most unique feature about this cryogenic system is that the assemblies for the start of the superconducting portion of the power leads are mounted in feed boxes that are in the range of 23 m to 31 m away from the solenoid magnets. The cryogenic feed boxes are located remotely to provide protection from radiation damage and high magnetic fields. The power leads are NbTi superconducting cable stabilized with high conductivity aluminum. The 6061-T6 aluminum grade was selected for the transfer line piping so that the piping would thermally contract at the same rate as the power lead. A major concern for this transfer line is that a small helium leak could create an electric discharge arc due to the Paschen effect. This paper includes a description of the design features and testing done to ensure that the power leads are protected from the Paschen effect while still being adequately cooled to liquid helium temperatures.

An analytical method for the correction of images obtained through Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is presented. The method is based on the analysis of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of the ...experimental STM images. A transformation matrix in the Fourier plane is derived from the comparison of the DFT of the experimental images with the DFT of the ideal STM image; this transformation is then applied to correct the experimental images. This kind of procedure is shown to be suitable also for the evaluation of repeatability of the instrument performance.
