Abstract:A generalized treatment of the influence of magnetic fringe fields on particle trajectories is proposed. The behaviour of the real field is compared with the ideal field, whose boundary is assumed to be curved. The position and shape of the virtual boundary are thus determined to simplify the resulting formulas. Thirdorder effects are disregarded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
