ATLAS ToroidsATLAS Muon Spectrometer uses a barrel and two endcap air-core toroids, each with 8 superconducting coils
Large (bending power x lever arm) p/p = 10% @ 1 TeV
Complex and inhomogeneous magnetic field Need precise (< 0.5%) field map over 20 x 20 x 25 m3

Field Calculation
We calculate the field from the current in the coils Perturbation due to iron structures is evaluated numerically
Positions and shapes of the coils must be known to a few mm

Field Reconstruction1730 3-dim. Hall probes are installed on the MDT chambers Sensor accuracy 0.2–1 mT 1. Measure the field2. Subtract the perturbation 3. Fit for the coil position and shape4. Generate the field map 0.2% field accuracy expectedfor the barrel toroid
Harvard (Morii) collaborateswith Saclay and Dubna on field fit and reconstruction

Endcap Field Sensors
Endcap toroids are encased inside one cryostat per side Not enough nearby measurements to constrain coil positions
64 sensors were added on the cryostat surfaces Based on a Harvard study

2007 Endcap Toroid TestsThe endcap toroids were energized to 10 kA in Nov. 2007 Field measurements were used to test the reconstruction Sensors on the cryostats proved very useful
Mounted directly on large solid bodies Positions well known
Analysis (by Harvard) uncovered a surprise:Coils were closer to the beam line than the design by 12 cm CERN engineer discovered inconsistency in drawings Shifts are (likely) real Larger gap between barrel and endcaps
Nominal field map has been updated to study the impact on muon reconstruction, trigger
Also: Toroid axes are ~1 cm below the beam line Corroborated by mutual inductance data

SummaryUnderstanding the magnetic field is prerequisite for physics Harvard is contributing to this effort through field reconstruction
Magnetic field measurement and reconstruction progressed rapidly in the past year Basic idea has been demonstrated to work 2007 test data yielded useful information on coil geometry
All toroids were energized to 20.5 kA in June–July 2008 Data are being analyzed to validate the calculation of the field perturbation due to shielding structures
Combined (barrel + endcaps) test data will be used to constrain all 24 coils simultaneously to produce field map for the first run
