“…The superconducting solenoid magnet [49] is 2.73 m in length with an outer radius of 71.0 cm and made from niobium-titanium wire that is cooled to less than 4.7 K using liquid helium. The solenoid produces a 2 T magnet field parallel to the z-axis that causes charged particles to curve as they travel radially out from the interaction point.…”

“…Momentum and charge sign measurements improved significantly in Run II with the addition of a highly uniform 2 T axial magnetic field [65]. This is maintained with a super-conducting solenoid surrounding the tracking region, fitting inside the central bore of the calorimeter.…”

“…The solenoid is 2.73 m in length and 1.42 m in diameter. [60] This magnetic field is maintained with a rather large 4825 A current. The solenoid must be superconducting to maintain such a large current.…”
