A System for Series Magnetic Measurements of the LHC Main Quadrupoles
نویسندگان
چکیده
More than 400 twin aperture lattice quadrupoles are needed for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is under construction at CERN. The main quadrupole is assembled with correction magnets in a common cryostat called the Short Straight Section (SSS). We plan to measure all SSSs in cold conditions with an unprecedented accuracy: integrated gradient of the field within 150 ppm, harmonics in a range of 1 to 5 ppm, magnetic axis of all elements within 0.1 mm and their field direction within 0.2 mrad. In this paper we describe the automatic measurement system that we have designed, built, and calibrated. Based on the results obtained on the two first prototypes of the SSSs (SSS3 and SSS4) we show that this system meets all above requirements.

The LHC Main Dipoles and Quadrupoles Toward Series Production
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is under construction at CERN. Most of its 27 km underground tunnel will be filled with superconducting magnets, mainly 15 m long dipoles and 3.3 m long quadrupoles. In total 1248 dipole and 400 quadrupole magnets will be built (including spares), all wound with copper stabilized NbTi Rutherford cables and designed to operate in superfluid helium at 1.9 K. The di...
متن کاملThe LHC Reference Magnetic System
This paper introduces the aims and the preliminary design of the Reference Magnetic System (RMS) for the LHC that will track and provide information on the magnetic state of the machine during operation. The necessity of the RMS will be justified towards the requirements for the LHC operation. The RMS should have three major actors: the database of the series measurements, the magnets field mod...
متن کاملField measurements were performed using a portable magnetic measurement “cart” developed for production testing of LHC insertion region quadrupoles in Fermilab’s Magnet Test Facility
A prototype 2-Tesla superconducting transmission line magnet for future hadron colliders was designed, built and tested at Fermilab. The 1.5 m long, combined-function gradientdipole magnet has a vertical pole aperture of 20 mm. To measure the magnetic field quality in such a small magnet aperture, a specialized rotating coil of 15.2 mm diameter, 0.69 m long was fabricated. Using this probe, a p...

In this research we study the Mono-Z signature along with dark matter production at the LHC in a renormalizable dark matter model. We look at processes with L+L-+MET in the final state. We simulate signal and background events at central mass energy 14 TeV We then evaluate the LHC sensitivities for some points in the model parameter space for two integrated luminosities L=100 fb-1 and L=1 ab-1 ...
متن کاملMap Computation from Magnetic Field Data and Application to the Lhc High-gradient Quadrupoles
In many cases the most accurate information about fields in a magnet comes either from direct measurement or from a numerical computation done with a 3D electromagnetic code. In this paper we show how this information can be used to compute transfer maps with high accuracy. The resulting transfer maps take into account all effects of real beamline elements including fringe-field and multipole e...
