Abstract
A sextuplet quadruple lens system for focusing charged particles, which lens system is comprised of two symmetrical triplet sets of lens.
Claims5
A quadrupole lens system comprised of six quadrupole lenses in a linear configuration comprised of two triplets, such that:
- i) the focusing (F) and defocusing (D) capabilities of the lenses in one plane alternate F-D-F-D-F-D;
- and
- ii) the lens emittances are ordered A-B-C—C-B-A;
- and
- iii) the lengths of the lenses (lj) and the distances between lenses (sk) are ordered as l1-s1-l2-s2-l3-s3-l3-s2-l2-s1-l1;
- and
- iv) every two identical lenses are rotated 90 degrees from each other.
