ATLAS superconducting toroids and solenoid

The ATLAS particle detector in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN features a hybrid system of four superconducting magnets: a Central Solenoid surrounded by 2 End-cap Toroids and a Barrel Toroid. The magnet system dimensions are 20 m in diameter and 26 m in length. With its 1.55 GJ stored energy in air, it actually is the largest superconducting magnet in the world. The construction of the magnets has started in 1998 and will end in 2006 with the completion of the installation underground. Currently, in October 2004, practically all magnet parts are manufactured and delivered to CERN for final integration. The first two out of 8 full size 25/spl times/5 m/sup 2/ size coils for the Barrel Toroid have been completed and tested while the other 6 are near to completion as well. The production of the so-called End-Cap Toroids is progressing well. The Central Solenoid is complete and ready for installation. The installation underground of the entire system including its services has commenced. In the paper the main features of the magnets, their common infrastructure and services are reviewed and the status of realization presented.
