An iron septum magnet was designed for the charged-particle beam splitting system. Magnetic field measurements of the septum model magnet with a circular hole were performed for several conditions. The hole field is B 0 = 60-250 G for a hole radius of 12 mm and the gap field is Bg = 5--6 kG for a gap distance of 8 mm with a septum thickness of 1 mm. The multipole field strength in the circular hole is obtained from the field distribution.
An iron s e p t u m magnet has been used for the splitring system o f the high energy p r o t o n beam. This magnet has a hole in the pole tip and some part of the beam passes through the hole where the magnetic field is weak. The magnetic field in the wedge shaped hole [1] which is often used is rather complicated. Oleksiuk et al. [2] adopted a circular hole with septa o f 3 . 8 - 5 m m thickness. We m a d e a m o d e l magnet having a circular hole o f a = 12 m m and septa o f c = I, 3 and 8 m m , where a and c are illustrated in fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross section o f the hole and the septum. Each pole tip is 60 m m wide and 41 m m high. The gap field Bg up to l 1 k G was produced in a gap o l d = 4, 8 and 14 m m b e t w e e n two pole tips. Distributions o f the hole

field Bo and o f the gap field Bg were measured with a Hall detector. The b e a m can be split by the strong gap field Bg and by the w e a k field Bo. The magnetic potential V(r, O) in a circular hole is expressed as
v(r, o) : - ~ n n

where r is the distance from the center o f the hole, and 0 is the angle f r o m the Y axis. Parameters An can be determined by using the field B0 = (Box, Boy). The parameter A1 = a B 0 is deduced from the field B0 y(0, 0) = Bo at the center o f the hole. For the case o f c N a and d, the field Bo is described as the constant distribution, because of An = 0 for n ~> 2. Fig. 2 shows the measured gap field Bg at 2 m m f r o m the surface o f the lower pole tip for X = 0, and Bo at the center o f the hole. Curves ( a ) - ( d ) indicate results for a circular hole o f a = 12 m m radius. Curves (a), (b) and (c) show the results for d = 14, 8 and 4 r a m at c = 1 m m , respectively. For the case o f d = 14 ram, curves for c = 3 and 8 m m were not different from curve (a) for c = 1 m m within several percent. But for the case o f d = 4 m m , the curve for c = 8 m m is similar to curve (d) for c = 3 nun which is different from that for c = 1 ram. Curve (e) shows the result o f a = 2.5 m m , c = 19,5 m m and d = 3 m m , that is, the case c >> a and d, where the Bo distribution is constant in the hole. The curve also indicates that Bo is roughly p r o p o r t i o n a l to an exponential f u n c t i o n o f Bg for c >> a, d and Bg < 10 kG. The field distribution Bo = (Box, Bor) o f a hole o f a = 12 m m was measured up to Bg = 9 kG for c = 1 , 3

lower pole tip. Fig. 4 shows the field Bg(X) for c = 1 mm and d = 14 or 4 mm. The field Bg(X) for d = 1 4 mm is uniform up to 5 k G , and the ratio [Bg(20)-Bg(0)]/Bg(20) is about 2% at Bg(0) = 7 kG, where Bg(0) and Bg(20) mean the fields at X = 0 and 20 ram, respectively. For d = 4 ram, the field is uniform up to 3 kG, and the ratio becomes about 11% at Bg(0) = 7 kG. From our experimental results one could adopt a circular hole with a small septum thickness of c = 1 ram, in the condition of a hole field B0 = 6 0 250 G for a hole radius of about 12 mm and a gap

field Bg = 5 - 6 kG for a gap distance of about 8 mm. These results were almost independent of the properties of the soft iron.
