Solenoids


label:SOLENOID,TYPE=string,APERTURE=real-vector,L=real,KS=real;
A SOLENOID has two real attributes:
L
The length of the solenoid (default: 0 m)
KS
The solenoid strength (default: 0 rad/m). For positive KS and positive particle charge, the solenoid field points in the direction of increasing $s$.
Example:

SOLO:SOLENOID,L=2.,K=0.001;
The reference system for a solenoid is a Cartesian coordinate system.
