We visited the company that is producing the magnets. The tolerance on the iron yoke in quite a challenge and need a bit more work. Hopefully we can test the first magnet end of next week…

On the 17th of March LARMOR woke up after a long shutdown. Please follow the witter for the hot news on the commissioning! Intensity is as expected, background needs a bit more work.

The new guide field profile has a winding tool to fix the copper wire, hope it will work. We will make a new prototype coil soon…

On December 17th 2014 we had an important stakeholders meeting in Delft. All the partners in the proposal were present. We started of with several presentations that give an update or start a discussion. First there was a presentation of … Continue reading →

              At the moment components for our prototype are coming in. We are working on the alignment of the rail system that guides the magents up and down the beamline. An other team is … Continue reading →

Following the previous post about guide field calculations, here we have a prototype of the new guide coil design. We will have special custom extruded Al profile with ITEM profile on the inside, protection plate connection on outside, room for … Continue reading →

          Simulations have been done for many configurations of the coils that guide the precession through the instrument. For the SESANS mode these coils need to be in a magnetic balance for the full beam cross … Continue reading →

          Together with Tomas M. from ISIS we have been looking for the optimal setting of our split magnets. Depending on the encoding angle (plot 1=80 deg, plot 2=20 deg) we need a certain shift of … Continue reading →

  To avoid any errors in our design and to get all the cables at the right length we made a wooden copy of the most important ISIS hardware on the two LARMOR tables. The next step is the Delft … Continue reading →

Four meters of brute power… The RF AR-800 amplifiers are ready for testing… If they pass the test we can already ship two pieces to ISIS for installation and test if it will add noise to the detector for example. … Continue reading →
