Rotating-coil calibration in a reference quadrupole, considering roll-angle misalignment and higher-order harmonics
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is proposed for calibrating the radius of a rotating coil sensor by relaxing the metrological constraints on alignment and field errors of the reference quadrupole. A coil radius calibration considering a roll-angle misalignment of the measurement bench, the magnet, and the motor-drive unit is analyzed. Then, the error arising from higher-order harmonic field imperfections in the reference quadrupole is assessed. The method is validated by numerical field computation for both the higher-order harmonic errors and the roll-angle misalignment. Finally, an experimental proof-of-principle demonstration is carried out in a calibration magnet with sextupole harmonic. 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملCalibration of Rotating Coil Arrays for Particle Accelerator Magnet Testing
Synchrotron particle accelerators are mainly composed of magnets. Long dipole magnets are employed to bend and to contain the beam within a circular trajectory. Their field quality is usually tested by arrays of rotating coils. Typically the measurements must be affected by low uncertainty (+10) and the calibration of the sensing coils, in terms of surface and angle, is critical. In this paper,...
