Performance Study of the Vibrating Wire Technique to Determine Longitudinal Magnetic Field Profile Using Scans to High Wire Harmonic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Particle accelerator laboratories, which enable world-class research across many scientific fields, depend on the magnets used to manipulate their particle beams for successful operation. The community employs various techniques, typically based on Hall probes and induction sensors/coils, to verify the performance of these accelerator magnets. When the transverse access around a magnet is restricted, conventional Hall probe systems cannot be deployed or require significant modification, while moving wire/coil systems tend to provide information only on the magnetic field’s integral. This research builds upon a vibrating wire setup first commissioned to locate the magnetic center of quadrupole magnets. Scans up to the n = 200 wire harmonic (∼10 kHz drive frequency) were measured to reconstruct the magnetic field across a wire strung through a test magnet. New software was developed to systematically process the many frequency response scans needed for a detailed field reconstruction. This research investigated the speed and precision of the measurement, identifying limitations due to both instrumentation and nonlinear wire behavior. The vibrating wire data agreed with a reference Hall probe scan on the order of 6%; roughly 0.7% RMS error persisted after calibrating the vibrating wire data to the reference scan via scaling factor.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
