Abstract
In systems for mass separations of high energy particles, the separation achieved depends not only on the applied electric field but also on the characteristics of the systems of magnetic lenses which may be used to contain and focus the beam of particles. Quantitative relations for the mass separation and momentum dispersion are derived. It is shown that systems can be designed involving a module of magnetic lenses and electric field such that, when the module is repeated indefinitely, the mass separations at successive foci increase linearly with the number of modules.Keywords
