Abstract :
A description is given of the conceptual design of a proposed superconducting magnet system for particle astrophysics in space, using a thin solenoid configuration. The system, called Astromag, provides large acceptance and uniform magnetic field for analyzing cosmic-ray charged particles. Also discussed is the development of a prototype thin solenoid, expected to be used in balloon-borne experiments for high-energy particle astrophysics.
