coupling coefficients is given in Figure 2.4.6. Applying hexapole and octupole corrections we<br />

succeeded to regain about 80 % of the first-order momentum resolving power at the central plane<br />

of the Pre-<strong>Separator</strong>. This result is confirmed by higher-order calculations performed with different<br />

ion-optical codes like GICO and COSY [42].<br />

Figure 2.4.6: Example of most important 2 nd -order coupling coefficients ([x,aa], [x,aδ], [x,δδ]) calculated<br />

along the Pre-<strong>Separator</strong>. The magnetic elements of the Pre-<strong>Separator</strong> are schematically shown in the upper<br />

part of the plot. The hexapole magnets are marked in red colour.<br />

The additional foci at PF1 and PF3 can of course be shifted more towards the middle of the drift<br />

lengths between the subsequent dipole and hexapole magnets to improve the spatial separation of<br />

the primary beam from the selected fragments (see Figure 2.4.5). However, this reduces the optical<br />

resolving power at PF2 and thus the overall fragment separation power. Therefore the condition<br />

has to be matched to the experimental requirement.<br />
