Abstract:This paper presents an optimization procedure for the design of circular magnets of multipolar symmetry in the presence of an iron screen. The procedure is based on the combined use of field calculations and optimization techniques and can be applied when the field is generated either by a distribution of currents or of magnetic materials. The numerical optimization technique uses the positions and/or orientations of the field generating elements as parameters (currents or permanent magnets). The technique has… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
