MAGNETIC FIELD PLOTS AND CHARGED PARTICLE TRAJECTORIES INTERNAL TO AND ABOUT MULTIPOLE COILS (MINTRAP).

Abstract

Magnetic field equations are solved numerically for axially symmetric coils of rectangular cross section, infinitely thin closed current loops, and infinitely thin, finite-length, current-carrying elements. Calculations were made by utilizing the IBM 7044-94 high speed computer. The logic adapting the magnetic field equations to the computer was written in Fortran 2 and Fortran 4 machine language. A technique for calculating the trajectory of a singly charged particle in the presence of these magnetic fields is presented and the equations solved. The various current-carrying elements may be described in any combination to generate complex magnetic field configurations. The code (MINTRAP) has a routine whereby automatic data plotters may be utilized for plotting magnetic fields or particle trajectories in three dimensions. (Author)
