2.1. General remarks on the calculation of magnetic fields The calculation of magnetic fields is based on Maxwell’s equation ∇ ×=H j . We are interested in the magnetic field close to the particles orbit where j = 0 , thus yielding ∇ ×=H 0 . H may therefore be expressed in terms of a scalar potential ϕ by H = −∇Φ , giving ΔΦ=0 . The magnetic field usually is generated by an electrical current I in current carrying coils surrounding magnet poles made of ferromagnetic material. A ferromagnetic re- turn yoke surrounds the excitation coils providing an efficient return path for the magnetic flux.

The magnetic potential Φ is defined by its equipotential lines in the transverse plane and therefore by the surface of the ferromagnetic poles. Due to the relation B = μμ0 r H , the magnetic field in the gap of a magnet may be calculated from a closed loop integral nI⋅= Hds ⋅ = H ⋅ ds + H , ∫ ∫∫0 E gap yoke

Assuming a very large permeability μr , the second integral term may be neglected. We finally obtain for the magnetic field inside the gap B ⋅ ds=⋅⋅μ n I ∫ 0 gap
Concentrating on the major types of magnets (so called upright magnets) mainly used in particles accelerators and beam transport lines, it is sufficient to define the vertical component Gxz () of the magnetic field along the horizontal axis of the magnet (where we put z = 0 ) and to assume a constant field distribution along the longitudin- al axis (∂Bs∂=0 ). This leads to the set-up

Bzz(,)xz= G () x + f ()z , and with B = −∇Φ , one has Φ(,)xz=− B ⋅ dz =− G () x ⋅ z −f ()zdz ⋅ , ∫ zz∫ and therefore dG2 () x dfz () ΔΦ=−z z − =0 dx2 dz

2.2. Particle Beam Guidance Guide fields are used to deflect particles along a predefined path. These fields, gener- ated by Dipole Magnets have to be homogenous, leading to the set-up dG2 () x Gx( )= B=⇒ const.z = 0 z 0 dx2 The corresponding magnetic potential follows to
Φ(,)xz=− B0 ⋅ z, defining the profile of the magnet poles to flat parallel poles at a distance h:

The magnetic field inside the gap is related to the current of the coils by nI⋅ B = μ 00h The strength of a dipole magnet is usually normalized to the particles momentum, giving the inverse bending radiusκ 1 R or the curvature κ : 1 eenIμ ⋅ ==B = 0 R pph0

2.3. Particle Beam Focusing Focusing fields are used to keep the particle beam together and to generate specifical- ly desired beam properties at selected points along a beam transport line. We need a magnetic field which increases linearly with increasing distance from the axis, leading to the set-up: ∂ B Gx()=⋅ gx with g = z z ∂ x generated by Quadrupole Magnets. The corresponding potential follows to Φ(,)xz =−g ⋅xz ⋅ , defining the profile of the magnet poles to four hyperbolic poles Φ a2 zx()=±0 =± g ⋅ xx2
at a distance a =Φ2 0 g from the axis.

The magnetic field inside the gap is determined from the gradient of the magnetic ∂Φ ∂Φ potential, giving: Bg= −=⋅zBand =−=⋅g x xz∂∂xz
The “restoring” force acting on the particles is F =⋅eBe(vv ×) =g ⋅()xeˆˆx − zez
A quadrupole magnet is therefore focusing only in one plane and defocusing in the other; depending on the sign of g.
