In the framework of the NEWGAIN project, which aims to build a second injector with a mass to charge-state ratio A/q = 7 for the SPIRAL2 linear accelerator at GANIL, CEA is developing in collaboration with LPSC and GANIL a new superconducting 28 GHz ECR Ion Source Magnet named ASTERICS. The magnetic design is based on an advanced concept of the VENUS ECR ion source operating at Berkeley and the FRIB source under commisionning at MSU. The ion source superconducting magnet consists of a sextupole inside three solenoids to confine the plasma and a shell-based support structure to apply a preload to the sextupole coils. The confinement coils will be made in Nb-Ti and will be operated at 4.2 K. The cryogenic environment will be ensured by liquid helium thermosiphon closed loop thanks to six in-situ cryocoolers. Specific HTS current leads are being designed to power the magnet. A cold integrated He buffer will also allow He almost-lossless quenches. The preliminary design choices of the ASTERICS superconducting magnet are presented here from the magnetic, mechanical and protection design to the cryogenic definition emphasizing the global approach used to obtain the final magnet configuration.
