What brought these improvements?

Recap on Field Quality from the Latest Large Scale Production - The RHIC Dipole Production

RHIC 100 mm Aperture Insertion Dipole: The first magnet gets the body harmonics right

Average Field errors ~10-4 up to 80% of the coil radius

Tuning Shims for 10-5 Field Quality at 2/3 of coil radius

The best in field quality with tuning shims A few parts in 10-5 at 2/3 of coil radius

Preliminary Calculations in a Common Coil Design Magnet

Persistent Current-induced Harmonics (may be a problem in Nb3Sn magnets, if done nothing)
