A TEST REPORT FOR THE MUCOOL RF SOLENOID
M. A. Green

This report discusses the results of tests that were done on the MUCOOL RF solenoid between 1 September 1999 and 19 January 2000.  This report includes the following tests and test observations:   1) The results of the cryostat proof pressure tests are presented.  The proof pressure tests were made at room temperature on the cryostat helium vessel, the cryostat nitrogen vessel, and the cryostat insulating vacuum vessel.  2) a typical cool down from 290 K to 4.2 K using liquid cryogens is presented. 3) The quench history of the solenoid is presented for tests in September 1999, November 1999, December 1999 and January 2000.  The results of twenty magnet runs are documented.  4) Magnetic measurements of the magnet operating as a superconducting magnet are presented.  Magnetic measurements made at 77 K at low current are also presented.  The magnetic measurements include individual coil measurements as well as magnet measurements in the solenoid and gradient modes.
