This element provides a symplectic bending magnet with the exact
Hamiltonian. For example, it retains all orders in the momentum offset
and curvature. The field expansion is available to fourth order.
One pitfall of symplectic integration is the possibility of orbit and path-length errors for the reference orbit if too few kicks are used. This may be an issue for rings. Hence, one must verify that a sufficient number of kicks are being used by looking at the trajectory closure and length of an on-axis particle by tracking. Using INTEGRATION_ORDER=4 is recommended to reduce the number of required kicks.
Normally, one specifies the higher-order components of the field with
the K1, K2, K3, and K4 parameters. The field
expansion in the midplane is
. By setting the USE_bN
flag to a nonzero value, one may instead specify the b1 through
b4 parameters, which are defined by the expansion
. This is convenient if one is
varying the dipole radius but wants to work in terms of constant field
quality.
Setting NONLINEAR=0 turns off all the terms above K_1 (or b_1) and also turns off effects due to curvature that would normally result in a gradient producing terms of higher order.
Edge effects are included using a first- or second-order matrix. The order is controlled using the EDGE_ORDER parameter, which has a default value of 1. N.B.: if you choose the second-order matrix, it is not symplectic.
Note about split dipoles: elegant can internally split dipoles into several pieces, which the user can control using the element_divisions parameter of the run_setup namelist, or using the divide_elements command. In splitting dipoles, elegant simply substitutes a series of dipoles with the length and angle divided by the appropriate factor. ``Interior'' edge effects (i.e., between split pieces) are automatically turned off.
The user may also split dipoles into pieces in the lattice definition. E.g., suppose one wanted to split the following dipole:
B1: SBEN,L=0.5,ANGLE=0.5,E1=0.5,E2=0.5One could do this easily using
B1PART: SBEN,L=0.1,ANGLE=0.1,E1=0.5,E2=0.5 B1: line=(5*B1PART)The edge effects are turned off for the edges between successive B1PART elements. This is done only for successive dipoles with the same name and when there are no intervening elements.
Incoherent synchrotron radiation, when requested with ISR=1, normally uses gaussian distributions for the excitation of the electrons. Setting USE_RAD_DIST=1 invokes a more sophisticated algorithm that uses correct statistics for the photon energy and number distributions. In addition, if USE_RAD_DIST=1 one may also set ADD_OPENING_ANGLE=1, which includes the photon angular distribution when computing the effect on the emitting electron.
