EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF SOLENOID MAGNETIC CENTRE MEASUREMENT BY VIBRATING WIRE SYSTEM

P. Arpaia, C. Petrone, L. Walckiers

Abstract

A method to measure the magnetic axis position of a solenoid magnet by means of a vibrating wire is proposed. The method allows the magnetic axis to be found in spite of the low transversal field. The experimental results of the magnetic axis measurements on a prototype solenoid magnet of the linear accelerator for the low energy beam transport line at CERN are illustrated.
