Description
A recent trend in spiral inflector design is the use of transverse electric field gradients in order to influence the optics. These methods can improve the vertical focusing of the inflector and prevent longitudinal de-bunching, increasing the cyclotron transmission. Permanent magnet spiral inflectors offer a possible alternative for fixed-energy machines.
