A CEA-CNRS French collaboration is currently developing a new hybrid magnet; this magnet combines a resistive insert composed of Bitter and polyhelix coils and a new large bore superconductor outsert to create an overall continuous magnetic field of 42+ T in a 34 mm warm aperture. The design of the superconducting coil outsert has been completed after thorough studies and successful experimental validation phases. Based on the novel development of a Nb-Ti/Cu Rutherford Cable On Conduit Conductor (RCOCC) cooled down to 1.8 K by the mean of a bath of superfluid helium at atmospheric pressure, the superconducting coil aims to produce a continuous magnetic field of 8.5 T in a 1.1 m cold bore diameter. The main results of the final design studies of the superconducting coil are presented including the 2D and 3D mechanical stress analysis, the conductor and coil specifications, the coil protection system as well as the required cryogenics infrastructure. The final design of the resistive insert coils is also described.

The paper describes the design of the system as well as the problems occurred during the assembling of the 8 superconducting ATLAS coils and the ATLAS B0 prototype coil, and the behavior of the Barrel Toroid coils with respect to this prestress during the cold tests.
