octupole
octupole
defines an octupole.
Attributes:
l
- length [m] (default 0)
k3
- normal octupole coefficient
k3 = 1/(B \rho) d^3 B_y / dx^3 [m^-4]
Positive k3
means horizontal focusing of positively charged particles. (default 0)
ks3
- skew octupole coefficient
ks3 = 1/(B \rho) d^3 B_y / dx^3 [m^-4]
where (x,y) is now a coordinate system rotated by 30 degrees around s with respect to the normal one.(default 0).
tilt
- roll angle [rad] about the longitudinal axis, clockwise.
outR
- external radius [m] of magnet (default set to aper
+22cm)
material
- the magnet material (default set to “Iron”)
Example :
of : octupole, l=0.5*m , k3 = 0.5 , tilt = 0.01;
