• inexact coil shape

• positioning errors during assembly (shift and declination)

Four assembly steps

• coil imbedding • half module assembly• module assembly• device integration

Construction error possibilities

The construction errors produce symmetry breaking perturbations.

• introduce new island at any periodicity

• modify existing islands• generate and enhance stochastic regions

Conclusions:

• Deviations with an average value of 1.5 to 2mm with a statistical distribution may generate effective field perturbations in the range of 2*10-4 given by the proposal.

• Mainly the m=1, n=1 island appears.

• The field perturbation go almost linearly with the amplitude of the deviation.

• Due to the low-order islands the load on the targets is asymmetric.

• In the high iota configuration the centre region is displaced while the edge region is not

so strong influenced.

• The more systematic deviations due to rotation of coils and whole modules is more

effective in producing low order B perturbations then the deviations of coil shape

and shift errors.

• The small scale deviations of the manufacturing errors enhances the stochastic structures at the edge.• The control coils are not very effective for compensating low-order error fields.

Outlook: Continue the calculation in collaboration with the engineering team. Compensation of the low order error fields with the planar coils should be more effective but needs extra current feeders. Consider the possibility of evaluation of scaling law for the magnetic field perturbations.
