Abstract

This paper describes an investigation of magnetic fields and lorentz forces in the straight section and the coil end of an LHC-dipole magnet using the finite element program TOSCA. Starting from an existing design of the straight section the constant perimeter description was used to generate the coil end geometry. Results will be shown of the local magnetic field and lorentz force in the coil end.
