Introduction
1. This talk will introduce the basic accelerator magnet type of
electromagnets in the synchrotron radiation source and discuss their
properties and roles.
2. The main accelerator magnets are, dipole magnet for electron bending,
quadrupole magnet for electron focusing, and sextupole magnet for
controlling electron beams chromaticity.
3. Magnet design should consider both in terms of physics of the
components and the engineering constraints in practical circumstances.
4. The use of code for predicting flux density distributions and the iterative
techniques used for pole face and coil design.
5. What parameters for accelerator magnet are required to design the
magnet?
6. An example of SRRC magnet system will be described and discussed.
The magnet features of various accelerator magnets
Lorentz fource
Although, the electric field appears in the Lorentz forces, but a
magnetic field of one Tesla gives the same bending force as an
electric field of 300 million Volts per meter for relativistic particles
with velocity vc.
Magnets in storage ring
Dipole - bending and radiation
Quadrupole - focusing or defocusing
Sextupole - chromaticity correction
Corrector - small angle correction

Magnet for accelerator lattice system
Magnetic spherical harmonics derived from Maxwells equations.
Maxwells equations for magneto-statics: ,
No current excitation: j = 0
Then we can use :
Therefore the Laplaces equation can be obtained as:
2

where
M
is the magnetic scalar potential.
Thinking the two dimensional case (constant in the z direction) and solving for
cylindrical coordinates (r,):
In practical magnetic applications, scalar potential becomes:

changed.

Ideal pole shapes are equal magnetic line
At the steel boundary, with no currents in the steel:
Apply Stokes theorem to a closed loop enclosing the boundary:
Hence around the loop:
But for infinite permeability in the steel: H = 0;
Therefore outside the steel H = 0 parallel to the boundary.
Therefore B in the air adjacent to the steel is normal to the steel
surface at all points on the surface should be equal. Therefore
from , the steel surface is an iso-scalar-potential line.

Effect of shim and pole width on distribution
Magnet chamfer for avoiding field saturation at
magnet edge
Chamfering at both sides of dipole magnet to
compensate for the sextupole components and the
allow harmonic terms.
Chamfering at both sides of the magnet edge to
compensate for the 12-pole (18-pole) on quadrupole
(sextupole) magnets and their allow harmonic terms.
Chamfering means to cut the end pole along 45 on
the longitudinal axis (z-axis) to avoid the field
saturation at magnet edge.
Square ends
* display non linear effects (saturation);
* give no control of radial distribution in the fringe
region.

Chamfered ends
* define magnetic length more precisely;
* prevent saturation;
* control transverse distribution;
* prevent flux entering iron normal to lamination (vital

The trade-off of current density in coils
j = NI/S
where:
j is the current density,
S the cross section area of copper in the coil;
NI is the required Amp-turns.
EC = G (NI)
2
/S
therefore:
EC = (G NI) j
Here:
EC is energy loss in coil conductor,
G is a geometrical constant factor and as function of .
Then, for constant NI and energy will depend on current j.
Magnet capital costs (coil & yoke materials and construction, assembly,
power supply testing and transport) vary as the size of the magnet ie
as 1/j.

Small, neat terminals. Large, bulky terminals
Thin interconnections-low
cost & flexible.
Thick, expensive inter-
connection, high cost.
More insulation layers in coil,
hence larger coil, increased
assembly costs.
High percentage of copper in
coil. More efficient use of
volume.
High voltage power supply-
safety problems.
High current power supply-
greater losses.

In a continuous ferro-magnetic core, residual field is determined by the
remanence B
r
. In a magnet with a gap having reluctance much greater
than that of the core, the residual field is determined by the coercivity

.
With no current in the external coil, the total integral of field H around
core and gap is zero.
Thus, if H

Kicker Magnet design
In general, the injection and extraction magnet systems of
accelerators need two types of magnets kicker and septum
magnets.
The kicker magnets are used for the fast displacement of the
closed orbit temporarily.
The septum magnets provide the necessary defection to the
incoming or outcoming beam to match the angle of the beam
transfer line to the accelerator orbit.

Screen thickness (at beam) 1 mm;
Screen thickness (elsewhere) 10 mm;
Excitation pulse 25 s,
half sinewave;
Skin depth (copper, 20 kHz) 0.45 mm,
Injected beam pulse length <1 s.
Features of alternative septum magnet designs
Conventional Eddy current
Excitation d.c. or low frequency pulse; pulse:
waveform frequency >10 kHz;
low trpetitionrate;
Coil single turn including front
septum;
single or multi-turn on backleg
allows large cross section;
Septum cooling complex water cooling in
thermal contact with septum;
heat generated in dhield
conducted to base plate;
Yoke material conventional steel; high-frequency material (ferrite
or radio metal).
Criteria relating to choice of material in a high
frequency magnet
Transformer:
Inductance =
0
n
2
A/ l; l is length of magnetic circuit,
A is cross section area of flux;
Magnet:
Inductance =
0
n
2
A/ (g+ l / ); g is gap height.
ie L (magnet) << L (transformer).
Losses appear as resistance in parallel with inductance; they are
therefore much less significant in a magnet.
Skin-depth effects modified by gap:
The gap also decreases the magnetic effect of eddy currents in the
laminations, which control the penetration of flux into the steel:
{2 g /
0
( l + g ) }
Use of magnetic material at higher than recommended
frequencies
Application:
Type of septum: Eddy current;
Excitation: 25 s half sine-wave;
Effective frequency: 20 kHz
Material used: Nickel Iron Alloy
Lamination thickness: 0.1 mm
Skin depth (nickel-iron ~5,000) ~0.01 mm
Lamination manufacturers data:
Max frequency quoted
in and loss curves: 400 Hz
Max recommended
operational frequency: 1 kHz

Example of accelerator magnet

Classification of field measurement and analysis methods
1. The fluxmeter method
This method, which is based on the induction law, is the oldest of the currently rsed methods for
magnetic measurement, but it can be very precise.
a. Search coil
It suit for point field measurement
b. Rotating harmonic coil
It suit for analysis the harmonic field measurement
c. Moving or a fixed stretched wire
To measure the static or varying magnet flux field
d. Helmholtz coil
To measure the homogeneous field or the three-dimension magnetic moment of permanent
magnet.
2. The Hall effect method
Advantage: High resolution of point field and inhomogeneous field measurement
Disadvantage: not high accuracy and easy be influenced by environment.
3. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) method
Advantage: not only for calibration purposes, but also for high precision field mapping
Disadvantage: can not measure inhomogeneous field.
4. Fluxgate magnetometer
Advantage: offering a linear measurement and well suited for static operation.
Disadvantage: restricted to low field.
Measurement methods: accuracies and ranges
Data analysis on the Hall probe system
The mapping method measure either the vertical field B
y
(x,y) or the horizontal field
B
y
(x,y). To do the harmonic field analysis, we record the position (x,y,s) and the
field B
y
(x,y), and then integrated the field along the s orbits. For a normal magnet,
the magnet features depend on the magnet pole face and its magnetic field
equation. This can be solved by the Laplaces equation in the two dimensional (x,y)
plane. The magnetic field equation can be expressed as

Data analysis on the Hall probe system
Where N
n,m
and S
n,m
are the weighting factors and n-2m0, n-2m-10. The field strength
H
n,N
is the normal multipole strength and H
n,S
is the skew multipole strength and n
represent the harmonic numbers. Each point of the harmonic field on the integrated
harmonic field. Also equation (1) can be transferred to be a cylindrical coordinate
equation as follows: The vertical field B
y
(x,y) can be represented as
(4)
(5)
(6)
Where H
nm
is the combined harmonic field strength,
nm
is the orientation angle and
is the phase angle. From the magnetic field equation (1), the skew dipole field is a
unknown term, unless the horizontal field B
x
(x,y) is measured. We take the mapping data
of the magnetic field strength B
x
(x,y,s) or B
y
(x,y,s) and substitute this in equation (1). The
harmonic field strength H
n,N
and H
n,S
can be obtained by doing a non-linear least square
fit. We can substitute the results in equation (5) and (6) to obtain the combined harmonic
field strength H
nm
with an orientation angle
