Abstract
One of the US-LHC accelerator research program goals is to develop and prove the design and technology of quadrupoles for an upgrade of the LHC Interaction Region (IR) inner triplets. Four 1-m long technology quadrupole models with a 90 mm bore and field gradient of 200 T/m based on similar coils and different mechanical structures have been developed. In this paper, we present the field quality measurements of the first several models performed at room temperature as well as at superfluid helium temperature in a wide field range. The measured field harmonics are compared to the calculated ones. The field quality of quadrupole models is compared with the NbTi quadrupoles recently produced at Fermilab for the first generation LHC IRs.
