TrapCAD — a program to model magnetic traps of charged particles

Abstract
A graphical end-user program is presented that can be used to design and study magnetic traps with cylindrical and/or multipole symmetry. Originally it was developed for ECRIS (Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source) designing. However, its usage is not restricted to studying ECRIS fields. It can be used in any case where solenoidal multipole fields have to be calculated, e.g. with other types of ion sources, or beam transport elements at particle accelerators. TrapCAD uses the output of the...

Title of program: TrapCAD
Catalogue Id: ADDL_v1_0

Nature of problem
TrapCAD computes the parameters of a charged particle magnetic trap in cylindrical and/or multipole geometry (that is usually used for several types of ion traps and ion sources) and visualizes the magnetic field line structure. Particle movement simulation inside the trap is also possible.

【摘要】
本文介绍一款面向终端用户的图形化程序，可用于设计并研究具有圆柱对称和/或多极对称的磁阱。该程序最初为电子回旋共振离子源（Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source, ECRIS）的设计而开发，但其应用范围并不局限于电子回旋共振离子源的磁场研究。但凡需要计算螺线管型多极磁场的场景均可使用该程序，例如其他类型的离子源，或粒子加速器中的束流传输元件。TrapCAD可调用……的输出结果。

程序名称：TrapCAD
目录编号：ADDL_v1_0

【问题概述】
TrapCAD可计算圆柱对称和/或多极几何结构下带电粒子磁阱的各项参数（该类结构常用于多种离子阱与离子源），并可可视化磁场线的分布结构，同时支持磁阱内部的粒子运动模拟。
