The Wien (E x B) Filter

Developed by E. Behringer

This set of exercises guides the students to compute and analyze the behavior of a charged particle in a spatial region with mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. It requires the student to determine the Cartesian components of hte forces acting on the particle and to obtain the corresponding equations of motion. The solutions to these equations are obtained through numerical integation, and the capstone exercise is the simulation of the Estyle="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">×style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">Bstyle="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal">style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: normal"> (Wien) filter.

It is worth noting that an actual source of ions will not only be characterized by a distribution of velocities, but also distribution of directions (no ion beam is strictly mono-directional, just like a laser beam is not strictly mono-directional). This is an additional fact that would have to be considered to accurately simulate the performance of a real Wien filter.

ExB_Filter_Exercise_4.py(with Bug Fix)

#

# ExB_Filter_Exercise_4.py

#

# This file is used to numerically integrate

# the second order linear differential equations

# that describe the trajectory of a charged particle through

# an E x B velocity filter.

#

# Here, it is assumed that the axis of the filter

# is aligned with the z-axis, that the magnetic field

# is along the +x-direction, and that the electric field

# is along the -y-direction.

#

# The numerical integration is done using the built-in

# routine odeint.

#

# Many particles selected from a normal distribution of

# z-velocities are sent through the filter and histograms

# of the z-velocities of the incident and transmitted particles

# are produced.
