Thermal and Mechanical Performance of the First MICE Coupling Coil and the Fermilab Solenoid Test Facility

The first coupling coil for the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) has been tested in a conduction-cooled environment at the Solenoid Test Facility at Fermilab. An overview of the thermal and mechanical performance of the magnet and the test stand during cool-down and power testing of the magnet is presented.
