eSTAR with Thin Solenoid
In order to increase magnetic field in endcap reagion it has been considered a possibility to remove STAR magnet pole tips and
to insert a thin superconducting solenoid (~5 T) inside of TPC inner field cage (R ~ 40 cm).
The calculation has been done using opera with advices from Wuzheng Meng (CAD).
The standard STAR magnetic field is presented in

We consider 3 options:
- Removed pole tips (b).
- 4 m long solenoid (a).
- 2 m long solenoid (c).
Below plots for Bz and Br versus Z and R are shown f
BL integrals versus Theta
|B|L integrals were calculated at the surface of cylinder with R = 2m and half length Z = 2m.
|BL^2|
After these plots it looks that we need to try to move solenoid forward in region 1 m < Z < 2m.
