First- and Second-Order Magnetic Optics Matrix Equations for the Midplane of Uniform-Field Wedge Magnets

Abstract

The first‐ and second‐order matrix equations for the magnetic optics of the midplane of uniform‐field wedge magnets have been derived. The calculations include rotated input and output wedges and curved surfaces on the input and output faces. A second‐order matrix algebra has been developed to handle beam transport optics for multiple element systems in a manner similar to that which has been used in the past for the first‐order beam transport optics.
