Leaky fields from damaged shields

Abstract

Initial simulations and lab measurements were presented in this paper regarding leaky fields from small holes. Computer simulations provided motivation that external fields could be sensed by a rudimentary coil sensor. Lab experiments provided initial data that these external signals are detectable. The work going forward will focus on quantifying the effect of shield damage size and shape to leaky fields, the strength of the fields as the coil moves away, and optimal coil sensor design.
