Title: ANALOG COMPUTER FOR CHARGED PARTICLE TRAJECTORIES

Abstract

An analog computer was applied to the problem of tracing the trajectories of a beam of charged particles such as is produced by high energy accelerators. The electrical circuit involved employs analogs for both quadrupole magnets and bending magnets, and thus it facilitates the determination of both the focal properties and the dispersion characteristics of the magnets; an accuracy of 2% was attained for some of the calculations made with the present instrument.
