Abstract

We have constructed a conduction-cooled superconducting dipole magnet for the Hyperon spectrometer at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The magnet is a Helmholtz-type dipole magnet with two circular coils with a radius of 500 mm separated by 500 mm. It provides a uniform magnetic field of 1.0 T or higher in a volume of ϕ600 mm × 600 mm, covering the drift region of a time projection chamber (TPC). Owing to the target location inside the TPC, the Hyperon spectrometer has a broad angular coverage with a nearly 2π solid angle. We have successfully excited the magnet up to 1.3 T. At 1.0 T, we operated it stably for more than 1 week in single-magnet configuration and double-magnet configuration with a normal-conducting 0.7-T dipole magnet located 30 cm apart. The measured magnetic field distribution in the TPC volume is consistent with the calculated field map.
