Abstract
The global optimisation of Loney's solenoid, aiming at minimizing the level of inhomogeneity of the main field, was proposed and solved as a first benchmark for single criterion optimisation. Accordingly, the TEST(Testing Electromagnetic Synthesis Techniques) environment has been set up. Based on Loney's solenoid even in the unshielded configuration, a multicriteria optimisation problem has been then formulated: to identify the coil geometry producing a main field with the minimum inhomogeneity within the solenoid and, at the same time, a minimum level of stray field around the solenoid. The scope of this contibution is to compare different methodologies for the solution of the multicriteria design problem.
