Explore a magnetic quadrupole lens system for ion beams, including 3D and 2D geometry, magnetic field distribution, and ion trajectories.
E N D
Introduction • This is an example model of a system of magnetic quadrupoles for use in a nuclear accelerator • The beam consists of Be5+ ions, traveling through three consecutive magnetic quadrupoles with the velocity 0.01c. • The quadrupole triplet acts as a lense, focusing the beam in the transversal plane.

The magnetic field distribution. Results
The magnetic field distribution and approximately hyperbolic contour lines for the magnetic potential. Results
Particle tracing in 2D is done with a logic expression reversing the polarity of the force when the ions are in Q2. Particle Tracing • The force on an ion is given by drift (1m) Q1 (1m) Q3 (1m) Q2 (2m)
Results Q1 Q2 Q3 drift 1 cm 3 cm • Ions starting from R = 3 cm all arrive within R = 1 cm.
