Superconducting quadrupole magnets with 70 mm aperture and nominal field gr
adient of 215 T/m are being developed by the US-LHC Accelerator Project for
the Interaction Regions of the Large Hadron Collider. Due to large beam si
ze and orbit displacement in the final focusing triplet, these magnets are
subject to stringent field quality requirements. For this reason, a correct
ion scheme based on magnetic shims was investigated. This paper reports des
ign calculations, fabrication issues and tests results involving magnetic s
hims.
