Method Detail

compCurvature

public static double compCurvature(IProbe probe,
                                   double dblFld)

Compute the path curvature of a magnetic dipole for the given probe. The path curvature is 1/R where R is the bending radius of the dipole (radius of curvature). Note that for zero fields the radius of curvature is infinite while the path curvature is zero.

Parameters:

probe - probe object to be deflected

dblFld - constant field strength of magnet

Returns:

dipole path curvature for given probe (in 1/meters)
