Beam Optics Study of a Fragment Separator for the Planned Rare Isotope Beam Facility in Korea

A heavy-ion accelerator facility based on a linear accelerator is planned in Korea. The facility is designed to provide high-current radioisotope beams, and they will be utilized in the fields of nuclear, material and biomedical sciences. The primary beam energy is in the range of a few hundreds of MeV/u. A major mechanism to produce isotope beams is in-flight fragment separation. The separator...

Gaussian Beam Optics

In your typical optics lab, most of us, as scientists or engineers, are familiar with geometrical optics, which assumes that the wavelength of the light approaches zero. When constructing a formalism for light propagation and optical analysis, this assumption allows us to ignore any effects resulting from diffraction and greatly simplifies most calculations. This approximation – that the wavele...

Analytic Nonlinear Methods for Beam Optics

The range of meaning for the word “analytical” extends from a hand-derived formula to be used by hand, to a computer-derived formula to be used by hand (eg. with a symbolic manipulation program), to a computer-derived expression to be seen only by a computer. There is an increasing degree of complexity as one proceeds through these types. The hand-derived/hand-used is especially important for t...
