Excitation Curves of Small Quadrupoles for TeV I Beam Line Use

TL;DRAbstract

Excitation curves for at least one magnet of each length of TeV I Small Quadrupole have been measured utilizing the MIF-TeV I VAX standard measurement system. Since the standard measurement sequence does not include this sort of excitation curve, the standard reports issued on the magnet does not contain this data. Measurements were taken with the gradient probe SQ25 (probe ID No.40) centered in the aperture and extending through the field length to integrate the strength of the magnet. The parameter BETA2 reported below is the probe calibration factor for this probe in meters**2. The gradient strength of the magnet in Tesla-meters/meter is obtained from the measured flux by dividing by BETA2. The data were collected from MEAS BASE runs in which the measurement probe flux is recorded in a baseline measurement sequence. The hysteresis of the magnet is set by ramping to the specified maximum current then back to zero. The integrator is zeroed at zero current and the integrator voltage re
