A novel trape­zoidal coil 2D car­bon beam scan­ner has been de­signed, and a pro­to­type has been suc­cess­fully de­vel­oped and tested. The field per­for­mance of the mag­net has been char­ac­ter­ized and it is in ex­cel­lent agree­ment with the sim­u­la­tions. A bet­ter than 1% field uni­for­mity in both planes has been achieved within the use­ful aper­ture of the mag­net. This rep­re­sents a sig­nif­i­cant im­prove­ment over the prior art of the ele­phant-ear scan­ner de­sign. A com­par­i­son of the two de­signs and the re­sults from the new trape­zoidal-coil de­sign will be pre­sented and dis­cussed. Higher power and on­line beam test­ing are planned in the near fu­ture.
