  Abstract:
Linac4, currently being built at CERN, includes 24 quadrupole magnets characterized by narrow apertures and fast excitation cycles which make accurate magnetic measurements challenging. This paper describes the method used for the measurement, which is a combination of techniques based on stretched wire, rotating and fixed search coils. We show how these different instruments can be used in a complementary way to derive information on different aspects of the magnetic behaviour, such as the impact of hysteresis and dynamic eddy current effects. We summarize the results of the series measurement campaign, which include field strength, harmonic components, and the offset and orientation of the magnetic axis. Finally, we discuss the relevance of these measurements as their impact to the operation of the linac.
