Modeling of random geometric errors in superconducting magnets with applications to the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Estimates of random field-shape errors induced by cable mispositioning in superconducting magnets are presented and specific applications to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) main dipoles and quadrupoles are extensively discussed. Numerical simulations obtained with Monte Carlo methods are compared to...
