Popis: An experiment was carried out for a precise calibration of the absolute sensitivity of a high-μ metal core solenoid used as a sensor of an induction magnetometer. The high-μ metal core induction magnetometer was operated simultaneously with an air-core loop antenna induction magnectometer system which has a known absolute sensitivity. The two systems were run at Churchill, Manitoba in February, 1977. A moderately intense quasisinusoidal Pc 1 event recorded by both systems on the vertical component was made use of as a calibration signal. Comparison of the outputs from the two induction magnetometers made it possible to determine the sensitivity of the high-μ metal core solenoid. A theory was also presented to calculate the absolute sensitivity of a high-μ metal core solenoid. Agreement between the theory and the experiment is good. The theory shows us how to design a reliable and portable high-sensitivity solenoid.
