sextupole
sextupole
defines a sextupole.
Attributes:
l
- length [m] (default 0)
k2
- normal sextupole coefficient
k2 = 1/(B \rho) d^2 B_y / dx^2 [m^-3]
ks2
- skew sextupole coefficient
ks2 = 1/(B \rho) d^2 B_y / dx^2 [m^-3]
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.
aper
- aperture [m] (default same as beampipe radius)
outR
- external radius [m] of magnet (default set to aper
+22cm)
material
- the magnet material (default set to “Iron”)
Example :
sf : sextupole, l=0.5*m , k2 = 0.5 , tilt = 0.01;
