  2. QUESTIONS • How to express the magnetic field shape and uniformity • The magnetic field is a continuous, vectorial quantity • Can we express it, and its shape, using a finite number of coefficients ? • Yes: field harmonics • But not everywhere … • We are talking about electromagnets: • What is the field we can get from a current line ? • The Biot-Savart law ! • What are the components of the magnetic field shape ? • What are the beam dynamics requirements ? 41° 49’ 55” N – 88 ° 15’ 07” W 40° 53’ 02” N – 72 ° 52’ 32” W

  4. 1. FIELD HARMONICS: MAXWELL EQUATIONS • Maxwell equations for magnetic field • In absence of charge and magnetized material • If (constant longitudinal field), then James Clerk Maxwell, Scottish (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879)

  5. 1. FIELD HARMONICS: ANALYTIC FUNCTIONS • A complex function of complex variables is analytic if it coincides with its power series on a domain D ! • Note: domains are usually a painful part, we talk about it later • A necessary and sufficient condition to be analytic is that called the Cauchy-Riemann conditions Augustin Louis Cauchy French (August 21, 1789 – May 23, 1857)

  6. 1. DEFINITION OF FIELD HARMONICS • If Maxwell gives and therefore the function By+iBx is analytic where Cn are complex coefficients • Advantage: we reduce the description of a function from R2 to R2 to a (simple) series of complex coefficients • Attention !! We lose something (the function outside D) Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, German (November 17, 1826 - July 20, 1866)

  7. 1. DEFINITION OF FIELD HARMONICS • Each coefficient corresponds to a “pure” multipolar field • Magnets usually aim at generating a single multipole • Dipole, quadrupole, sextupole, octupole, decapole, dodecapole … • Combined magnets: provide more components at the same time (for instance dipole and quadrupole) – more common in low energy rings, resistive magnets – one sc example: JPARC (Japan) A dipole A quadrupole [from P. Schmuser et al, pg. 50] A sextupole

  8. 1. DEFINITION OF FIELD HARMONICS • Vector potential • Since one can always define a vector potentialAsuch that • The vector potential is not unique (gauge invariance): if we add the gradient of any scalar function, it still satisfies • Scalar potential • In the regions free of charge and magnetic material Therefore in this case one can also define a scalar potential (such as for gravity) • One can prove that is an analytic function in a region free of charge and magnetic material

  9. 1. DEFINITION OF FIELD HARMONICS • The field harmonics are rewritten as (EU notation) • We factorize the main component(B1 for dipoles, B2 for quadrupoles) • We introduce a reference radius Rrefto have dimensionless coefficients • We factorize 10-4 since the deviations from ideal field are 0.01% • The coefficients bn, an are called normalized multipoles • bn are the normal, an are the skew (adimensional) • US notation is different from EU notation

  10. 1. DEFINITION OF FIELD HARMONICS • Reference radius is usually chosen as 2/3 of the aperture radius • This is done to have numbers for the multipoles that are not too far from 1 • Some wrong ideas about reference radius • Wrong statement 1: “the expansion is valid up to the reference radius” • The reference radius has no physical meaning, it is as choosing meters of mm • Wrong statement 2: “the expansion is done around the reference radius” • A power series is around a point, not around a circle. Usually the expansion is around the origin

  11. 1. FIELD HARMONICS: LINEARITY • Linearity of coefficients (very important) • Non-normalized coefficients are additive • Normalized coefficients are not additive • Normalization gives handy (and physical) quantities, but some drawbacks – pay attention !!

  12. CONTENTS 1. Definition of field harmonics • Multipoles 2. Field harmonics of a current line • The Biot-Savart law 3. Validity limits of field harmonics 4. Beam dynamics requirements on field harmonics • Random and skew components • Specifications (targets) at injection and high field

  13. 2. FIELD HARMONICS OF A CURRENT LINE • Field given by a current line (Biot-Savart law) using !!! we get Félix Savart, French (June 30, 1791-March 16, 1841) Jean-Baptiste Biot, French (April 21, 1774 – February 3, 1862)

  14. 2. FIELD HARMONICS OF A CURRENT LINE • Now we can compute the multipoles of a current line at z0

  15. 2. FIELD HARMONICS OF A CURRENT LINE • Multipoles given by a current line decay with the order • The slope of the decay is the logarithm of (Rref/|z0|) • At each order, the multipole decreases by a factor Rref /|z0| • The decay of the multipoles tells you the ratio Rref /|z0|, i.e. where is the coil w.r.t. the reference radius – • like a radar … we will see an application of this feature to detect assembly errors through magnetic field shape in Unit 21

  16. 2. FIELD HARMONICS OF A CURRENT LINE • Multipoles given by a current line decay with the order • The semilog scale is the natural way to plot multipoles • This is the point of view of Biot-Savart • But usually specifications are on a linear scale • In general, multipoles must stay below one or a fraction of units – see later • This explains why only low order multipoles, in general, are relevant

  17. 2. FIELD HARMONICS OF A CURRENT LINE • Field given by a current line (Biot-Savart law) – vector potential formalism … … and polar coordinates formalism

  18. CONTENTS 1. Definition of field harmonics • Multipoles 2. Field harmonics of a current line • The Biot-Savart law 3. Validity limits of field harmonics 4. Beam dynamics requirements on field harmonics • Random and skew components • Specifications (targets) at injection and high field

  19. 3. VALIDITY LIMITS OF FIELD HARMONICS • When we expand a function in a power series we lose something • Example 1. In t=1/2, the function is and using the series one has not bad … with 4 terms we compute the function within 7%

  20. 3. VALIDITY LIMITS OF FIELD HARMONICS • When we expand a function in a power series we lose something • Ex. 2. In t=1, the function is infinite and using the series one has which diverges … this makes sense

  21. 3. VALIDITY LIMITS OF FIELD HARMONICS • When we expand a function in a power series we lose something • Ex. 3. In t=-1, the function is well defined BUT using the series one has even if the function is well defined, the series does not work: we are outside the convergence radius

  22. 3. VALIDITY LIMITS OF FIELD HARMONICS • When we expand a function in a power series we lose something • Ex. 3. In t=-1, the function is well defined BUT using the series one has even if the function is well defined, the series does not work: we are outside the convergence radius

  23. 3. VALIDITY LIMITS OF FIELD HARMONICS • If we have a circular aperture, the field harmonics expansion relative to the center is valid within the aperture • For other shapes, the expansion is valid over a circle that touches the closest current line

  24. 3. VALIDITY LIMITS OF FIELD HARMONICS • Field harmonics in the heads • Harmonic measurements are done with rotating coils of a given length (see unit 21) – they give integral values over that length • If the rotating coil extremesare in a region where the field does not vary with z, one can use the 2d harmonic expansion for the integral • If the rotating coil extremesare in a region where the field vary with z, one cannot use the 2d harmonic expansion for the integral • One has to use a more complicated expansion

  25. CONTENTS 1. Definition of field harmonics • Multipoles 2. Field harmonics of a current line • The Biot-Savart law 3. Validity limits of field harmonics 4. Beam dynamics requirements on field harmonics • Random and systematic components • Specifications (targets) at injection and high field

  26. 4. BEAM DYNAMICS REQUIREMENTS • Integral values for a magnet • For each magnet the integral of the main component and multipoles are measured • Main component: average over the straight part (head excluded) • Magnetic length: length of the magnet as • If there were no heads, and the integrated strength is the same as the real magnet

  27. 4. BEAM DYNAMICS REQUIREMENTS • Integral values for a magnet • Average multipoles: weighted average with the main component • Systematic and random components over a set of magnets • Systematic: mean of the average multipoles • Random: standard deviation of the average multipoles

  28. 4. BEAM DYNAMICS REQUIREMENTS • Beam dynamics requirements • Rule of thumb (just to give a zero order idea): systematic and random field harmonics have to be of the order of 0.1 to 1 unit (with Rref one third of magnet aperture radius) • Higher order are ignored in beam dynamics codes (in LHC up to order 11 only) • Note that spec is rather flat, but multipoles are decaying !! – Therefore in principle higher orders cannot be a problem

  29. 4. BEAM DYNAMICS REQUIREMENTS • Beam dynamics requirements: one has target values for • range for the systematic values (usually around zero, but not always) • maximum spread of multipoles and main component • The setting of targets is a complicated problem, with many parameters, without a unique solution • Example: can we accept a larger random b3 if we have a smaller random b5 ? • Usually it is an iterative (and painful) process: first estimate of randoms by magnet builders, check by accelerator physicists, requirement of tighter control on some components or of adding corrector magnets … Systematic multipoles in LHC main dipole: measured vs target Random normal multipoles in LHC main quadrupole: measured vs target Systematic skew multipoles in LHC main quadrupole: measured vs target

  30. 4. BEAM DYNAMICS REQUIREMENTS • Beam dynamics requirements (tentative) • Dynamic aperture requirement: that the beam circulates in a region of pure magnetic field, so that trajectories do not become unstable • Since the beam at injection is larger of a factor (Ec/Ei), the requirement at injection is much more stringent no requirement at high field • Exception: the low beta magnets, where at collision the beta functions are large, i.e., the beam is large • Chromaticity, linear coupling, orbit correction • This conditions on the beam stability put requirements both at injection and at high field • Mechanical aperture requirement • Can be limited by an excessive spread of the main component – or bad alignment

  31. SUMMARY • We outlined the Maxwell equations for the magnetic field • We showed how to express the magnetic field in terms of field harmonics • Compact way of representing the field • Biot-Savart: multipoles decay with multipole order as a power law • Attention !! Validity limits and convergence domains • We outlined some issues about the beam dynamics specifications on harmonics

  32. COMING SOON • Coming soon … • It is useful to have magnets that provide pure field harmonics • How to build a pure field harmonic (dipole, quadrupole …) [pure enough for the beam …] with a superconducting cable ? Which field/gradient can be obtained ?
