Synchrotrons and beam rigidity The relativistic form of Newton s Laws for a particle in a magnetic field is: ( v q dt ) d p = = F B A particle in a uniform magnetic field will move in a circle of radius [ MeV/c B / ] 300 p p = [ m ] [ T ] qB In a synchrotron , the magnetic fields are varied as the beam accelerates such that at all points , and beam motion can be analyzed in a momentum independent way.

Thin lens approximation and magnetic kick If the path length through a transverse magnetic field is short compared to the bend radius of the particle, then we can think of the particle receiving a transverse kick p p B l = = ( / ) qvBt qvB l v qBl and it will be bent through small angle p Bl = ( B ) p In this thin lens approximation , a dipole is the equivalent of a prism in classical optics.
