Two l-m model magnets for the LHC low-beta quadrupoles were constructed and
tested in KEK. They were energized to over 240 T/m. The field quality was
measured by two harmonic coils. The multipole components were estimated alo
ng the straight section and the magnet ends. The results obtained show that
the effect of the thermal cycle on the magnetic field is negligible. The t
ime dependence of the multipole components were also measured at 420 A and
it was found that b(6) changed 0.8 units over 3 hours. This paper describes
the magnetic field quality of the two magnets.
