Cavity Magnet installed and first test - 31th of October 2007

This week the Cavity Magnet is connected to its power supply and cooling water. Subsequently, the first field measurements are performed.



Xantrex XDC 30-400 HV Power Supply (12 kW)

The on-axis field maximum is reached at 0.481 T at a current of 400 A. The power consumption is about 10 kW.



More measurements are required to get the full magnetic field information. More important is the overlap of the magnetic axis with the geometrical axis of the accelerator cavity.
