New Solenoid Elements in COSY INFINITY


Abstract

We describe several newly introduced elements in the COSY INFINITY codes, in particular a full array of solenoidal elements starting from a loop coil to any superposition of straight solenoids. Utilizing the COSY commands for misalignments, it also is possible to construct bending beamlines consisting of only solenoidal elements, which is important for modern neutrino factory designs. Since the fringe field of coils extends very far longitudinally, typically beyond a hundred times the diameter of the coils, accurate but fast field computation is necessary. In COSY, the 3D fields along the integration of transfer map through such an element are computed using a Differential Algebra based PDE solver, which is very fast and only requires the analytical axial potential. By examples, we illustrate the feature of each solenoidal element and how to simulate realistic solenoidal beamlines combined with the other non-solenoidal elements.
