Hi Norman, OK, fine, so we do not need a scaling factor in conditions DB. What we will need in addition to my list is the parameters of functions B_field(G)=a+b*I(A), and I(A)=c+d*B_field(G), relation between current and central field. Here are parameters: a=-4.298 b=-6.506 c=-0.6657 d=-0.1537 Regards, Stepan On 2/3/15 10:02 AM, Graf, Norman A. wrote: > Hello Stepan, > For any particular analyzing dipole magnet setting, we would either use the > calculated field map at the next highest calculated point and scale it down, or > the next lower calculated point and scale it up. > > "Any scaling factor will depend on values of central fields of closest simulated > field maps and the value of the central field we run with." > Exactly. > > "So, where this independent scaling factor comes into play?" > There is no independent scaling factor.

I assume this is an EPICS variable, or should be. We will also be mounting a Hall probe onto the SVT support plate. This will give us a direct measure of the magnetic field strength. Deviations from nominal settings will give us the scaling factor to use for the simulation/reconstruction. I would use the magnet current as the primary and the Hall probe as check, but we can monitor both during early commissioning. >>> Norman >>> ________________________________________ >>> From: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Nathan Baltzell <[log in to unmask]> >>> Sent: Monday, February 2, 2015 5:24 PM >>> To: McCormick, Jeremy I. >>> Cc: hps-software >>> Subject: Re: Bfield conditions >>> >>> Hi Jeremy, >>> >>>> current - the beam current in amps >>> I think beam current is not related to chicane settings. >>> >>>> But I'm not sure where this information all comes from... >>> Empirical numbers are magnet currents, from which comes a scale factor relative to some defined nominal value. >>> >>>> current - Will this be in the data stream for the upcoming runs?
