THEORY AND METHODS OP MAGNET SYSTEMS DESIGN A Senior Thesis

摘要

Many of the experiments now being conducted on high energy accelerators require the use of beams of charged secondary particles. It is generally assumed that a target is struck by the primary beam of the accelerator and that it is desired to form a beam from the secondary charged particles that emerge from collisions within the target. Particle optics is the study of systems using electromagnetic forces to direct the paths of particles and the simplest system of forming this beam of secondary particles involves the use of magnetic fields only. It is the purpose of this paper to present and discuss the various methods of forming such beams.
