ALIGNMENT OF THE MAGNETIC CENTERS OF QUADRUPOLE FOCUSING MAGNETS IN A LINEAR ACCELERATOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4011979
Methods for alignment of magnets in linear accelerators are examined. One method consists of passing a proton beam through a lens and observing the deflection produced, moving the lens a calculated amount, and repeating until there is no deflection. Optical factors in this method are discussed along with target shape, the effects of the Earth's magnetic field and results of an alignment confirmation experiment. (J.R.D.)
