CMS (compact muon solenoid) is one of the large experiments for the LHC at CERN. The superconducting magnet for CMS has been designed to reach a 4 T field in a free bore of 6 m diameter and 12.5 m ...length with a stored energy of 2.6 GJ at full current. The flux is returned through a 10 000 t yoke comprising of five wheels and two end caps composed of three disks each. The magnet was designed to be assembled and tested in a surface hall, prior to be lowered at 90 m below ground, to its final position in the experimental cavern. The distinctive feature of the cold mass is the four-layer winding, made from a reinforced and stabilized NbTi conductor. The design and construction was carried out by CMS participating institutes through technical and contractual endeavors. Among them CEA Saclay, INFN Genova, ETH Zurich, Fermilab, ITEP Moscow, University of Wisconsin and CERN. The construction of the CMS Magnet, and of the coil in particular, has been completed last year. The magnet has just been powered to full field achieving electrical commissioning. After a brief reminder of the design and construction the first results of the commissioning are reported in this paper.

The superconducting magnet for CMS has been designed to reach a 4 T field in a free bore of 6 m over a length of 12.5 m, with a stored energy of 2.6 GJ at nominal current. The magnet has been ...extensively and successfully tested in a surface hall at CERN in August and October 2006. Its characteristics make it the largest superconducting solenoid ever built in terms of bending power for the physics, stored energy and stored energy per unit of cold mass. The tests of the magnet were carried out by charging it to progressively higher currents. Long current flattops were used for magnetic measurements, generally ending with triggered fast discharges. During the tests, all the relevant parameters related to electrical, magnetic, thermal and mechanical behavior have been recorded and will be reported in the paper. Special emphasis will be put on the results and analysis of phenomena related to induced fast discharges, such as coupling and quench-back effects.

CMS (compact muon solenoid) is a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T superconducting ...solenoid with 6 m diameter by 12.5 m long free bore, enclosed inside a 10,000-ton return yoke. The stored magnetic energy is 2.6 GJ. The magnet is being assembled in a surface hall and will be tested at the beginning of 2005 before being transferred to an experimental hall 90 m below ground level. The design and construction of the magnet is a common project of the CMS Collaboration. The task is organized by a CERN based group with strong technical and contractual participation of CEA Saclay, ETH Zurich, Fermilab, INFN Genova, ITEP Moscow, University of Wisconsin and CERN. The return yoke, 21 m long and 14 m in diameter, is equivalent to a thickness of 1.5 m of saturated iron interleaved with four muon stations. Manufacture of the yoke and vacuum tank is completed and the first sub-detectors have been installed. The indirectly-cooled, pure-aluminum-stabilized coil is made up from five modules internally wound with four layers of a 20 kA mechanically-reinforced conductor. The manufacture of the conductor is completed and winding is in progress for a final assembly in 2004. All ancillaries are delivered or under contract. The magnet project is described, with emphasis on the present status of the fabrication.

The CMS experiment (Compact Muon Solenoid) is a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T ...superconducting solenoid with a free bore of 6 m diameter and 12.5-m length, enclosed inside a 10 000-ton return yoke. The magnet will be assembled and tested in a surface hall at Point 5 of the LHC at the beginning of 2004 before being transferred by heavy lifting means to an experimental hall 90 m below ground level. The design and construction of the magnet is a common project of the CMS Collaboration. The task is organized by a CERN based group with strong technical and contractual participation from CEA Saclay, ETH Zurich, Fermilab, INFN Genova, ITEP Moscow, University of Wisconsin and CERN. The magnet project will be described, with emphasis on the present status of the fabrication.
A new helium refrigeration plant with a cooling capacity of 800 W at 4.45 K, 4500 W between 60 K and 80 K, and 4 g/s liquefaction simultaneously has been installed in its temporary position inside ...the Compact Muon Solenoid assembly hall at CERN. The commissioning of the compressor station has been achieved, the commissioning of the cold box and the cryostats is under way. First operation results are presented.
EURECA (European Underground Rare Event Calorimeter Array) is an astro-particle physics facility aiming to directly detect galactic dark matter. The Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane has been selected ...as host laboratory. The EURECA collaboration unites CRESST, EDELWEISS and the Spanish-French experiment ROSEBUD, thus concentrating and focussing effort on cryogenic detector research in Europe into a single facility. EURECA will use a target mass of up to one ton, enough to explore WIMP – nucleon scalar scattering cross sections in the region of 10-9 – 10-10 picobarn. A major advantage of EURECA is the planned use of more than just one target material (multi target experiment for WIMP identification).
