Quadrupole Field in Circular Concave Electrodes

Abstract
The fields in circular concave electrodes with both infinitesimal and infinite thickness are analyzed by giving appropriate boundary conditions, and the optimum electrode angles for approximating the ideal quadrupole field best are obtained. These angles are 44° for infinitesimal thickness and 37° for infinite thickness. These results are verified by field plotting method. The realization of these electrodes is also discussed.
