Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at Fermilab is one the most challenging next-generation experiments in the field of neutrino physics. It will feature two detectors for a detailed study of neutrino oscillations using an unprecedentedly intense neutrino beam. The two detectors are a Near Detector located on the Fermilab site, 574 m away from the neutrino generation, and a Far Detector in South Dakota, 1300 km away. The Near Detector consists of three subdetectors, based on different technologies in order to achieve the best understanding of the neutrino beam. One key element of the Near Detector is a High Pressure Argon TPC surrounded by a calorimeter. This detector will need a 0.5 Tesla magnetic field transverse to the neutrino beam direction, with a 7 m diameter, 8 m long warm bore. A thin superconducting solenoid with a partial yoke, needed in order to minimise the amount of material along the path particles take crossing the different elements of the Near Detector is proposed. In this paper we present a detailed magnetic analysis and a preliminary study of the cooling, the cable and the mechanics for this magnet.
