A magnetic lens has been designed which will focus 30 MeV Li+ ions emitted from a diode onto a DT filled target as required in the LIBRA-LiTE fusion reactor study. Thirty such lenses are located 2.05 m from the target. Each lens is a 5 turn solenoid magnet, 0.5 m long with a bore of 0.18 m and an average B field of 1.2 tesla. Liquid Li is used as the electrical conductor and heat transfer fluid. The front end of the magnet is fabricated from porous TZM alloy with a wetted Li surface. The lifetime of the magnet in this high radiation environment is predicted to be one calendar year.
