Magnetic scalar potential • Field Equationsfield potential • Boundary conditionsfield potential B.C.’s:Flux lines bounded by charge Flux lines continuous Flow sheets continuous (equipotentials) Flow sheets bounded by current
What is a cos θ coil ? U = -x = - ρ cos φ CYLINDER SPHERE Symmetryz φ Wire pos. φi θi Const. surf. ρ0 r0 Moment Topology infinite bound U = -z = - r cos θ Cos θ coil U=-z Solenoid Cos φ coil
Flux containment • Three limits of boundary conditions in the return yoke: • μ = ∞(ferromagnetic) • Magnetization currents • High static shielding factor • THIN! • Image currents: automatic self-compensation (approximate) (exact) • μ = -1(superconductor) • Super- currents • Infinite dynamic shielding factor • Need space between the coil and shield • μ = 1(wires) • Conductor currents • No external field distortion • Must calculate wire positions! • Three topologies: • sphere • Separate shells • cylinder • Common surface • Restores z-symmetry • torus • No flux return
Double cos θ coil • Dipole Moments • μinner = - μouter • I = ΔA/A H0
Double cos φ coil • n3He Spin Rotator • (TEM RF mode): • Reverses either longitudinal OR transverse polarizedneutrons • No fringe fieldsin the neutronbeam • Self-shielding –no eddy currentsin Aluminum enclosure
Discretization of cos φ coil • Standard winding:one wire at centerof each slice • Optimization:– nominal dipole m=1– vanishing higher moments m=3,5,7,… • Nonlinear equations:– solved iteratively by Newton-Rhapson method for φi– up to m=15 (15 wires) or m=27 (30 wires)
Discretization of cos φ coil • Equally spaced wiresFourier cosine series • Optimization:– nominal dipole m=1– vanishing higher moments m=3,5,7,… • Linear equations:– unitary matrix– can null N-1 odd moments using N wire pairs– can tune individual currents in situ– use as shim coils for series cos θ winding
Conclusion • The Cos θ coil can be classified according tosymmetry, moment, and topology • Can use double layers for exact field-cancellation • Use the scalar potential, one can apply the properties ofa symmetric cos θ coil to any geometry
