Effect the Magnetic Field on the Focus of Ion Beam from Plasma Source

Abstract

One of the main component transport systems is a solenoid magnet, so in this study, a computational study was carried out to calculate some parameters of a solenoidal magnet. The most efficient technique to describe and track the charged particle beam along any optical system (in this example, a plasma source and two drift space areas before and after the solenoid magnet) is by theoretical analysis utilizing matrix representation, which has been provided. The configuration of the ion optical system necessary to create the magnetic identification focus and defocus the ion beam to the target using Matlab computational tools determines many magnet design elements, including magnetic rigidity, magnification, and focusing strength factor. The results demonstrate that a solenoid magnet functions as a convergent lens but can, under some circumstances, transform into a divergent lens. Additionally, changes in the solenoid magnetic field (B) affect the focusing of the beam that passes through the system, as indicated by the magnification values.
