    keyword=Powering up BigBite magnet

    We ramped up the BigBite magnet successfully in 100A increments with the following results:

    Current Field BPMB X BPMB Y

    100 A 0.183 T -0.071 0.155

    518 A 0.932 T -0.066 0.320

    The BPMB x and y values did not change as the current went up from 100A to 400A (however, this may have been due to the readback values taking a long time to update).

    We noticed on the BeO viewer that the spot appeared to move by ~ 5mm in the horizontal direction (to the left on the monitor screen).

    The spot++ picture shown below gives the x and y positions to be -0.3 and 0.76 respectively; previously, the values given by spot++ were -0.04 and 0.57 in x and y.

    The magnet appears to steer the beam a little in the horizontal direction and we will ask MCC to correct for this.
