✦ Synopsis

FINUDA is an experiment aiming at high resolution hypernuclear spectroscopy. It employs different types of detectors enclosed inside a large superconducting solenoid. It will operate on the new, high luminosity (e + -e-) collider DA ~NE of the INFN Frascati National Laboratory. The solenoid operates at 2765 A maximum current corresponding to a magnetic field of 1.1 T. The inner dimensions are: 2.4 m length, 2.7 m diameter. The coil within its cryostat is enclosed inside an iron return yoke composed by a central barrel and two end-caps which can be opened to access the inner detectors. The magnetic field in the inner volume has been fully mapped for both main and minor components. The alignment of such a magnet on a machine as DA~NE is a very crucial item, needing particular care.
