N2 - An extremely thin superconducting solenoid magnet is being developed to investigate cosmic-ray antiparticle in the Universe. The uniform solenoidal field is provided in a particle detector system to analyze the particle momentum. The solenoid coil is wound with advanced aluminum stabilized superconductor recently developed by using micro-alloying with Ni, followed by cold-work mechanical hardening. It is designed with a central magnetic field of 1.2 T in a volume of 0.9 m in diameter and 1.4 m in length, the radiation thickness of the coil is to be 0.056 X0 with a physical coil thickness of 3.4 mm. This paper describes the conceptual design and progress of the basic development work.
