124 sextupoles have been manufactured by SIGMAPHI.
Measurements were performed by SIGMAPHI with a rotating coil bench (See figures 1 and 2).
Reference radius for harmonic analysis = 32 mm
Tolerances for magnetic centering:± 30 µm in x and z
± 0.2 mrad in θs
Results:
- Shimming: A special procedure has been applied to compensate for non-expected large harmonics B1, observed during preliminary measurements. When it was necessary, some additional shims have been fixed on chamfers as shown on figure 3. Then, it has been measured that the B9 systematic component depends on the number of shims: -8.6 10-4 for 0 shims, -5.0 10-4 for 4 shims and -1.0 10-4 for 8 shims. - Sorting has been performed in order to minimize the effect on beam dynamics of the residual B5 component. The allocation of the 120 sextupoles around the ring is now defined.
- Magnetic axis centering at 300A satisfies tolerances. The standard deviation is 15 µm in x and z, and 100 µrad in angle.
- Strength identity from one sextupole to the other at 300A is 3 10-3.
