Electrostatic Separators

An ELSEPARATOR (electrostatic separator) has three real attributes:

label:ELSEPARATOR,TYPE=string,APERTURE=real-vector,L=real,EX=real,EY=real;

L

The length of the separator (default: 0 m).

EX

The horizontal electric field strength (default: 0 MV/m). A positive field increases $p_x$ for positive particles.

EY

The vertical electric field strength (default: 0 MV/m). A positive field increases for positive particles.

A ELSEPARATOR requires the particle momentum P and its charge CHARGE to be set in the relevant BEAM command before any calculations are performed.

Example:

BEAM,PARTICLE=POSITRON,PC=46.0;
SEP:ELSEPARATOR,L=5.0,E=0.5;

The reference system for a separator is a Cartesian coordinate system.
