    Decay and snapback measurements for the b3 and b5 field harmonics are very important to model the magnet’s behaviour during beam injection and initial acceleration of the particles. Snapback occurs very quickly and the rotating coils are not fast enough to provide enough data and hence enable proper modeling of the phenomenon. Therefore to resolve the snapback evolution in time...

    A permanent magnet Apple II type undulator was built at Elettra and a block sorting process was done in order to minimize the effects of magnetic errors on trajectories and angles of the electron beam. To check and optimize these corrections, Stretched Wire and Hall Plate measurements were performed. While the Stretched Wire system provides a clean measurement of field integrals, the...

    At CERN, varying magnetic field measurements involve massive use of rotating coils systems. Standard procedure for estimating magnetic harmonic coefficients provides for the fast Fourier transform (FFT) of the magnetic flux, acquired over one complete coil turn and assumed to be stationary. The assumption certainly holds for magnets measured along the loadline, i.e. through a powering...

    Field quality in accelerator magnets is expressed in terms of harmonic coefficients in a Fourier series, which are typically measured under DC conditions using a rotating coil. The technique of rotating coils has also been extended to measurements under AC conditions, but only for relatively slow ramps (well below 0.1 T/s). Currently, there is no well established technique for...
