Improvements on rotating coil systems at CERN

Abstract:
A large variety of magnetic measurement requirements arises from the multiple accelerator projects at CERN, such as MedAustron, SESAME, HIE-ISOLDE, ELENA, and Linac4. Limited resources and a narrow time scale impose optimized procedures and instrumentations. Standardization of measurement equipment becomes essential in order to increase efficiency in terms of installation time and workflow. This paper gives an overview of the ongoing effort to optimize CERN measurement resources by keeping a suitable measurement quality. A flexible control and acquisition software, a standard drive unit, rotating coil systems with standard assembly of tangential search coils, and multipurpose measurement benches are described as main elements of an optimized development of high-precision magnetic measurement systems.
