High field accelerator magnets are being developed at Fermilab for present and next generation hadron colliders. These magnets are designed for a nominal field of 10-12 T in the magnet bore of 40-50 mm and an operating temperature of 4.5 K. To achieve these design parameters, a new, high-performance Nb3Sn superconducting strand is used. Four short Nb3Sn dipole models of the same design based on a single-bore cos-theta coil and a cold iron yoke have been fabricated and tested at Fermilab. Their field quality was measured at room temperature during magnet fabrication and at helium temperature. This paper reports the results of warm and cold magnetic measurements. The systematic geometrical harmonics and their RMS spread due to cross-section imperfections, the coil magnetization effects caused by persistent currents in superconductor and eddy current in the cable, the "snap-back" effect at injection and the iron saturation effect at high fields are presented and compared with theoretical predictions.

  Since the beginning of 2002 an intensive measurement program has been performed at the Fermilab Magnet Test Facility to understand dynamic effects in the Tevatron magnets. Based on the results of this program a new correction algorithm was proposed to compensate for the decay of the sextupole field during the dwell at injection and for the subsequent field "snapback" during the first few seconds of the energy ramp. Beam studies showed that the new correction algorithm works better than the original one, and improves the Tevatron efficiency by at least 3%. The beam studies also indicated insufficient correction during the first 20 s of the injection plateau where an unexpected discrepancy of 0.15 sextupole units of extra drift was observed. This paper reports on the most recent measurements of the Tevatron dipoles field at the beginning of the injection plateau. Results on the field decay and snapback in the Tevatron quadrupoles are also presented.
