Precise Magnetic Field Mapping of the EMPHATIC Phase 1 Magnet with COMSOL (2501.01979v1)

Abstract: A compact Halbach array magnet is used to measure the momentum of the secondary particles in EMPHATIC (Experiment to Measure the Production of Hadrons At a Test beam In Chicagoland). Hall probe data was taken for the central cylindrical bore of the magnet and a field map was constructed. COMSOL Multiphysics Software is used for modeling the magnet and constructing the corresponding magnetic field map. We present a fitting approach where the hall probe data is used to determine a 1mm-spacing map of the entire volume of the magnet using COMSOL. The new map will allow for linear interpolation within the volume, and expand the map to outside the measurement volume, thus increasing the acceptance and precision of EMPHATIC tracking system.
