TECHNIQUE FOR CALCULATING TRAJECTORIES OF SINGLY CHARGED PARTICLES IN A STATIC MAGNETIC FIELD FOR SHIELDING PURPOSES

Abstract

The interactions between a charged particle and an externally applied static magnetic field are reviewed. The elementary effects that involve the introduction of an energetic charged particle into a magnetic field are discussed. Equations are rived for the magnetic flux density and for calculating the trajectories of singly charged particles. Also discussed are the applications of these equations and the boundary conditions. These equations are then adapted to the Fortran program. The use of the Fortran program and the method of data input are explained. Sample problem data, a printout of the program deck, and printouts of the solutions to the problems are also presented.
