Popis: The LHC will be composed of 1232 horizontally curved, 15-meter long, superconducting dipole assemblies and 474 Short Straight Sections containing various types of quadrupoles. These magnets are manufactured by several European companies and half of them are currently produced. The field quality at room temperature is strictly monitored to guide and validate the assembly at different stages of the production in the industry. Dipoles and quadrupoles are measured with two different rotating coil systems. These â€ワmoles” travel inside the 50 mm aperture and accurately measure the field and gradient strength integrated over the length, the field direction and high order harmonics. We describe here these two systems, their performance and the experience gained through the two first years of operation.
