Abstract
The U.S. LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP) and CERN are developing high-gradient Nb3Sn magnets for the high luminosity LHC interaction regions. Magnetic measurements of the first 1.5-m long, 150-mm aperture model quadrupole, MQXFS1, were performed during magnet assembly at LBNL, as well as during cryogenic testing at Fermilab's Vertical Magnet Test Facility. This paper reports on the results of these magnetic characterization measurements, as well as on the performance of new probes developed for the tests.
