Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A charged particle beam traveling in a quadrupole focusing channel is physically almost equivalent to an ion plasma confined in a linear Paul trap (LPT). Its means that we can conduct a systematic experimental study of beam stability with the LPT. Actual beam transport channels contain nonlinear fields generated by sextupole magnets and originated from mechanical errors other than the linear field generated by quadrupole magnets. These nonlinear fields are weak, but they sometimes damage beams seriously. Naturally, nonlinear fields caused by mechanical errors exist in the LPT. However, their strengths and structures are uncontrollable. To overcome this limitation, a new type of LPT have been developed in this study. It is also experimentally verified that the sextupole field and the octupole field can be excited by applying suitable voltages to electrodes.
