Stretch-wire system for integral magnetic field measurements

Abstract

A stretch-wire system was developed to measure and characterize the first and second magnetic fields integral of insertion devices and the harmonic field components of lattice magnet. This simple wire support structure was built with a reliable high precision, and high-speed automatic measurement system for measuring the transversal field integrals of various kind magnets. The measurement precision of the system is 1.5 G cm (70 G cm(2)) for the first (second) field integral of the insertion devices and 0.01% for the harmonic field components analysis of the lattice magnets. The scanning time for a complete measurement is five minutes for the first and second field integral distribution, and four minutes for the harmonic field components. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
