Freeman, J. R.

The Recirculating Linear Accelerator (RLA) uses ion-focusing to provide the radial confinement of the beam. At the ends of the ion- channel racetrack, a ramped vertical magnetic field will be required to keep the beam in the channel. A sector field, whose strength increases with distance from the channel axis, has been proposed to provide an energy bandwidth for the transport system. This manuscript reports on design studies for coil systems that produce the required fields. It also describes particle simulations in the combined IFR-B-field transport system to address the issues of energy bandwidth and emittance growth. 4 refs., 6 figs.
