The paper describes the results of 3D magnets simulation. The cyclotron magnet and analyzing
bending magnet IM-90 of axial injection chanell are studied here. The in uence of correction coils for
cyclotron magnet is calculated. All magnetic elds have been calculated by MERMAID 3D code [1].

DC-350 MAIN MAGNET
The cyclotron magnet has a classical H shape, the gaps between valley and sectors are
400 and 240 mm, correspondingly. The magnet parameters are shown in Table 1.
Due to symmetry of the magnet the 90 model has been used to simulate magnetic elds.
The 90 model is 1/8 part of magnet. The magnet yoke has been optimized by using this
model. The shape of nal magnet is displayed in Fig. 1.
The in uence of bended edges is about 50 Gs at high level of average magnetic
eld 1.5 T.

Fig. 2. Comparison of independent simulations with 90
magnet model
The result of calculated magnetic elds by 90 model has been compared with the results
obtained by our colleagues from Efremov Institite by KOMPOT code [2]. The difference
between independent simulations is presented in Fig. 2.
For both levels of average magnetic eld 1.5 and 1.24 T the difference is less than 50 Gs.
CORRECTION COILS
There are nine radial correction coils C0C8 for DC-350 cyclotron magnet (see Fig. 3).
The correction coils are required for adjusting magnetic elds of constructed magnet.
The net effect of each correction coil has been calculated as difference between magnetic
elds. One set is magnetic elds calculated with coil and another one is pure magnetic eld of
main magnet. Thus, a bunch of computations has been done to get in uence of all correction
coils at all levels of magnetic eld.

Fig. 5. Net effect of correction coils at average magnetic eld 1.24 T
The coils C1C7 have been designed to have maximal total current 960 A/turns, while
the coil C0 of central region has 1500 A/turns. The results of net in uence of the correction
coils are shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
The symmetric results have been calculated for reverse current of correction coils. The net
effects to average magnetic eld are more than 40 Gs (1.5 T) and more than 60 Gs (1.24 T)
for each coil.
IM-90 MAGNET
The ion beams after superconducting ESR ion source come into analyzing bending magnet
IM-90. It is a start of axial injection channel of DC-350 cyclotron. The geometry of simulated
magnet is shown in Fig. 6.

The magnet has shield screens at beam entrance and at beam exit. Due to magnet
symmetry the 1/4 part of magnet has been simulated. The parameters of IM-90 magnet are
shown in Table 2.
The design of magnet includes bunch dynamics in calculated elds. The beam dynamics
has been estimated with linear approximation.
The geometry of magnet has been chosen by changing the angle between beam trajectory
normal and magnet pole boundary at entrance and exit.
The horizontal and vertical beam envelopes for angle = 29.5 are shown in Fig. 7. Ideal
beam envelopes are depicted as dashed lines and simulated beam is shown as solid lines.
