Charged-particle ray trace Decorative artwork in the style of a CPO simulation plot: charged-particle trajectories, drawn as fine lines, converge through a crossover at a focal point marked by a glowing dot — the kind of ray trace the CPO programs produce.

Magnetic Field

MAGNETIC FIELD

A magnetic field can be added in CPO2D, CPO2DS, CPO3D and CPO3DS.

The magnetic field can be synthesized by adding together components selected from a menu, or a User-defined field can be called.

The available field components are:

  • Uniform magnetic field
  • Circular current hoop
  • Solenoid
  • Straight finite length of current
  • Arc of current
  • Point dipole
  • Interpolation from a User-supplied 2D or 3D array
  • User-supplied routine

And in addition, for CPO3D and CPO3DS only:

  • Straight finite length of current
  • Coiled solenoid
  • Arc of current
  • Point dipole
