Indigenous Development of Close-Type Quadrupole Magnets for a 2.5 GeV Synchrotron Radiation Source

Close type quadrupole magnets for Indus-2 require highly homogeneous magnetic field to focus electron beam. The field uniformity is governed by magnet geometry besides its steel quality. Magnets were developed with improved techniques and optimized for higher order multipole fields. This paper discusses development of magnets with magnetic measurement results.
