Abstract
The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is designed to search for charged-lepton flavor violation by looking for muon to electron conversions in the field of the nucleus. The concept of the experiment is to generate a low momentum muon beam, stopping the muons in a target and measuring the momentum of the outgoing electrons. The implementation of this approach utilizes a complex magnetic field composed of graded solenoidal and toroidal fields. Monitoring coil movements of the solenoids during cool down and magnet excitation and cool down is needed. A novel design of a Cold Mass Position Monitor System (CMPS) that will be implemented for the Mu2e experiment has been developed and a prototype CMPS has been built and tested. This paper describes the Mu2e Solenoid System CMPS including the description of the calibration, mounting effort and the CMPS DAQ.
