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.
