Orientation of beam-solenoid-jet

facts:

bulletconvention: A positive angle in vertical plane indicates an orientation up (=start is lower than end in beam direction)
bulletThe US NuFact design assumes a horizontal orientation of the magnetic axis, the proton beam is tilted by -67 mrad, and the mercury jet by -100 mrad with respect to the proton beam, both heading the same direction.

TT2A:

bulletThe proton beam is horizontal.

first possibility (Figure see below):

bulletassume: Hg-jet is tilted down
bulletmagnetic axis is tilted up.
bulletThis does not work, as the magnetic bore is tilted up, and the spilled mercury is flwoing back through the bore. FINISH

second possibility (Figure see below):

bulletflipping aver the vertical axis does not solve the problem of previous considerations and has to be dropped as well.

third possibility (Figure see below):

bulletflipping possibility 1 over the horizontal axis provides a solution for the mercury loop, spilling it from the high end of the magnet bore to the low one.
bulletThe low end of the bore collecting the mercury should also be the side of the reservoir.
bulletThe pump is located at the side of reservoir.
bulletThe service end of the magnet (LN2, power) is located opposite to the mercury pump.
bulletLN2 has to be drazined from the magnet opposite the service side (either additional drain or long pipe inside cryostat).
