Proceedings of the 1999 Particle Accelerator Conference, New York, 1999 VECTOR POTENTIAL AND STORED ENERGY OF A QUADRUPOLE MAGNET ARRAY S. Caspi, LBNL, Berkeley, CA Abstract The quad current density J (A/m) (a form that satisfies the conservation condition ), is : ! $ The vector potential, magnetic field and stored energy of a quadrupole magnet array are derived. Each magnet within the array is a current sheet with a current density proportional to the azimuthal angle 2 and the longitudinal periodicity . Individual quadrupoles within the array are oriented in a way that maximizes the field gradient. The array does not have to be of equal spacing and can be of a finite size, however when the array is equally spaced and is of infinite size the solution can be simplified. We note that whereas, in a single quadrupole magnet with a current density proportional to cos2 the gradient is pure, such purity is not preserved in a quadrupole array. # 6 34 E F 7 ) A 9 B 9 : < > ? < > ? # ' ) * , - . % 0 / 5 G 1 . ) A 9 C D C D B < < 7 M 0 1 H I 0 L * O P Q % 1 K 7 S T U W Y Z T U W \ ] ^ ` Z b [ c G2,m is gradient at z=0 and L denotes the half period. Quadrupoles are combined into an array with a center to center spacing of 2S and alternating current direction that maximizes the gradient (Fig. 1 and 2). 1 INTRODUCTION g It has been proposed that commercial electricity can be generated economically from ion beam-driven fusion of deuterium and tritium in tiny target pellets [1]. A leading driver candidate is a high energy, high current heavy ion accelerator. To achieve high currents it is generally desirable to accelerate multiple beams in parallel through a low impedance accelerating structure; a long pulse induction linac can be designed to do this. Efficient transport of beam current in the multibeam accelerator would be accomplished with multiple channel superconducting quadrupole magnets operating in a DC mode with warm bore[2]. d f coil i,j e 2s first octant beam TYPE II The vector potential and the magnetic field have been derived for an array of quadrupole magnets with a thin cos(2 ) current sheet at a radius r=R. [3][4]. The field strength within each coil varies purely as a Fourier sinusoidal series of the longitudinal coordinate z in proportion to m z, where , L denotes the half-period, and m is an integer associated with the longitudal harmonic. The analysis is based on the expansion of the vector potential in the region external to the windings of a single quad, and the use of the “Addition Theorem” to revise the expansion to one around any arbitrary point in space. self coil i=j=0 Figure 1: Cross section showing current density arrangement Email: s_caspi@lbl.gov This work was supported by the Director, Office of Energy Research, Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics, High Energy Physics Division, U.

These special cases reveal the reduction in crowding between magnets at the expense of an increased non-linear field. To generate flow lines we make use of a technique first demonstrated by J.
