Proceedings ArticleDOI
Measurement of magnetic axis in accelerator magnets: critical comparison of methods and instruments
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic axis of accelerator magnets, used to align machine components, is analyzed statistically to identify the parameter with the most influence on the total uncertainty, which is magnet length.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fast sextupole probe for snapback measurement in the LHC dipoles
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid compensation technique was used to measure sextupole variations in an LHC dipole prototype during the first few seconds after the start of an energy ramp at a rate of 5 Hz.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field decay and snapback measurements using a fast Hall probe sensor
T. Pieloni,S. Sanfilippo,L. Bottura,M. Haverkamp,A. Tikhov,E. Effinger,E. Benedico,N. Smirnov +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a system based on Hall probes was developed from an existing prototype to measure with a moderate acquisition frequency (3-10 Hz) the decay and snapback of the sextupole and decapole fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quench performance and field quality of the LHC preseries superconducting dipoles

TL;DR: In this paper, the main test results of magnets tested to day in both normal and superfluid helium are presented in terms of the specifications and expected performance of these magnets in the future accelerator.
Journal ArticleDOI
A system for series magnetic measurements of the LHC main quadrupoles
TL;DR: In this paper, the main quadrupole is assembled with correction magnets in a common cryostat called the Short Straight Section (SSS) to measure all SSSs in cold conditions with an unprecedented accuracy: integrated gradient of the field within 150 ppm.
