| 15 | The MAD program uses the following Taylor expansion |
---|
| 16 | for the field on the mid-plane <i>y</i>=0, described in |

| 21 | Note the factorial in the denominator. |
---|
| 22 | The field coefficients have the following meaning: |
---|
| 23 | <ul> |
---|
| 24 | <li><i>B</i><sub>0</sub>: Dipole field, with a positive value in the |
---|
| 25 | positive <i>y</i> direction; |
---|
| 26 | a positive field bends a positively charged particle to the right. |
---|
| 27 | <li><i>B</i><sub>1</sub>: Quadrupole coefficient |
---|
| 28 | <p> |
---|
| 29 | <i>B</i><sub>1</sub> = (del <i>B<sub>y</sub></i> / del <i>x</i>); |
---|
| 30 | <p> |
---|
| 31 | a positive value corresponds to horizontal focussing of a positively |
---|
| 32 | charged particle. |
---|
| 33 | <li><i>B</i><sub>2</sub>: Sextupole coefficient |
---|
| 34 | <p> |
---|
| 35 | <i>B</i><sub>2</sub> = |
---|
| 36 | (del<sup>2</sup> <i>B<sub>y</sub></i> / del <i>x</i><sup>2</sup>). |
---|
| 37 | <p> |
---|
| 38 | <li><i>B</i><sub>3</sub>: Octupole coefficient |
---|
| 39 | <p> |
---|
| 40 | <i>B</i><sub>3</sub> = |
---|
| 41 | (del<sup>3</sup> <i>B<sub>y</sub></i> / del <i>x</i><sup>3</sup>). |
---|
| 42 | <p> |
---|
| 43 | </ul> |
---|
| 44 | Using this expansion and the curvature <i>h</i> of the reference orbit, |
---|
| 45 | the longitudinal component of the vector potential to order 4 is: |

---|
| 47 | <img align=bottom src="../equations/Taylor_A_s.gif"> |
---|
| 48 | <p> |
---|
| 49 | Taking curl <i>A</i> in curvilinear coordinates, |
---|
| 50 | the field components can be computed as |
---|
| 51 | <p> |
---|
| 52 | <img align=bottom src="../equations/Taylor_B.gif"> |
---|
| 53 | <p> |
---|
| 54 | It can be easily verified that both curl <i>B</i> and div <i>B</i> |
---|
| 55 | are zero to the order of the <i>B</i><sub>3</sub> term. |
---|
| 56 | Introducing the magnetic rigidity <i>B</i>rho, |
---|
| 57 | the multipole coefficients are computed as |
---|
| 58 | <p> |
---|
| 59 | <i>K<sub>n</sub></i> = <i>e B<sub>n</sub> / p<sub>s</sub></i> = |
---|
| 60 | <i>B<sub>n</sub> / B</i> rho. |
