the LHC will include about 1750 cryomagnet assemblies, up to almost 16 m long, housing a total of about 10000 superconducting magnets connected in 1612 electrical circuits
magnet connection errors are always detrimental and may be unacceptable in some cases, including esp. main dipoles and quadrupoles, insertion region magnets, skew and tuning quadrupole correctors
need to check systematically multipole order, type and polarity of all LHC magnetic elements automated, self-contained probe based on a rotating Hall sensor designed and built similar system used with success at BNL for RHIC and presented at IMMW XI, Brookhaven (A. Jain et
al.)

The calibration of the probe concerns mainly two parameters:
Voltage-to-field transfer function of the Hall plate + preamplifier combination (~8.5 mT/V):determined by measuring the loadline of a reference dipole and cross-checking with a Metrolab NMR teslameter
Angular offset between Hall plate and tilt sensor (~10 mrad):determined as the average of the field direction obtained from two harmonic measurements in a reference dipole, inserting the probe from both ends.
Other systematic and random factors affecting the measurement that were neglected include:- roll/pitch angle error of the Hall plate ( pick-up of tangential/longitudinal field component)- error R in the radial position R of the Hall plate ( error (n-1)R/R in the field coefficients)- planar effect - temperature drift

5.3 – Characterization:5.3 – Characterization: Validation (2) Validation (2)A systematic verification procedure was carried out on magnets of order n=1 to 5 (total = 5x4x2 measurements):
1) Install magnet so that field is normal positive2) Check polarity with commercial Hall teslameter 3) Verify multipole order, magnet type and polarity with the Polarity Checker in four cases: { current, insertion from connection or non-connection end} polarity must reverse with the current (always) and with insertion side (only n=2,4)4) Turn magnet by -/n to make it skew, repeat step 3)

7 – 7 – Conclusions and outlookConclusions and outlook
• 4 units built and in use at CERN, proved reliable and easy to use• 505 cryoassemblies tested, 1200 to go before end 2006• Automated test procedures for cryodipoles and short straight sections fully
established: inner-region insertion quadrupoles/correctors being finalized now
• Possible further developments (not really necessary for series tests) include:- improving the mechanics of the longitudinal transport system - characterization of neglected error sources
