Abstract
The proposed ICAL detector is designed to detect muons generated from interaction of $\nu_{\mu}$ and anti-$\nu_{\mu}$ with Iron. It is designed with a maximum magnetic field of about 1.5 Tesla (with 90$\%$ of its volume having > 1 Tesla magnetic field). The magnetic field is intended for charge identification and momentum reconstruction of the muons. The mini-ICAL is a fully functional 85-ton prototype detector. One of the main challenges of the mini-ICAL detector is to produce the required B-field and to measure it as accurately as possible to study muons. For the purpose of measuring the B-field in the detector, Hall sensor PCBs are used. Hall sensors provide real time measurement of B-field. Calibration and systematic study of characteristics of the Hall sensors which are used for the measurement are carried out. Out of 11 layers of iron, 3 layers (1, 6 and 11) have provision for measurement of B-field using Hall sensor. In the mentioned layers, the gap between the adjacent plates is kept 3-4 mm for the purpose of inserting of the Hall sensor PCBs. In the rest of the layers, the gap between the plates is kept 2 mm. Measurements of magnetic field in the air gap between the plates and measurement of fringe field is done with a precision of 3$\%$ for the top layer. This will help in completing the study on the final magnetic field configuration of ICAL.

How to cite

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
