1
Both components are technically challenging.  
2
The Focus Coils are dual-coil superconducting solenoids, in close proximity,
3
wound on a common mandrel. Each pair of coils is run in series, but can be
4
configured with the coil polarities in the same (solenoid mode) or opposite
5
(gradient mode). At the center of each FC there is a 20-L liquid-hydrogen
6
absorber, operating at about 14 K, to serve as the energy loss medium for the
7
ionization cooling process.  
8
The longitudinal beam momentum is restored in the RFCC modules, each housing
9
four 201.25-MHz RF cavities whose irises are closed with 42-cm diameter thin Be
10
windows. To contain the muon beam, each RFCC module also has a 1.4-m diameter
11
superconducting coupling solenoid surrounding the cavities. Both types of magnet
12
are cooled with multiple 2-stage cryo-coolers, each delivering 1.5 W of cooling
13
at 4 K.  
14
Designs for all components are complete and fabrication is under way.
15
Descriptions of the various components, design requirements, and construction
16
status will be described.
