Description
Summary:A practical numerical method for the determination of ion trajectories in the midplane of nonhomogeneous magnetic fields utilizing a computer program is discussed. The method of determining the field profiles and a comparison of the computed and experimental focusing properties of the field in the design of a double focusing mass spectrometer are treated.
