Magnetic correction of RHIC triplets
Triplets of large bore quadrupoles will be antisymmetrically placed on either side of all six intersection points of the Relativistic Heavy Ion collider (RHIC). In RHIC collision optics, the tiplets at the two experimental detectors are intended to enable the collision beta function to be reduced to the design goal of {beta}{sup *} = 1.0 meter in both planes, in order to minimize the spot size and maximize the luminosity. This requires running with {beta}{sub max} {approx} 1400 meters in the triplet, where the beams will have their largest size, both absolutely and as a fraction of the available aperture. Hence, the ultimate performance of RHIC rests on achieving the highest possible magnetic field quality in the triplets. This paper discusses the correction of magnetic errors expected in the quadrupole bodies and ends, using both these limped correctors and also quadrupole body tuning shims.
