Magnetic Measurement Systems for the LHC Dipole Assembly Companies

The LHC superconducting lattice dipole magnets are presently under construction in three European industries. Due to the stringent magnet performance required for the LHC, these magnets have to be built with high accuracy during all the steps of their assembly. In order to detect defects in the earliest industrial production phases and to ensure the quality of the magnetic field as specified by the CERN contracts, dedicated measurement benches have been built and installed in each assembly company to validate the magnetic field quality at two important production stages: the collared coils and the final cold mass. This paper describes the initial requirements and the implementation of the magnetic measurement systems. Details on the technical solutions, the present status and measurement results are presented
