Quadrupoles, to Third Order

Accelerator Physics 2015-08-10 v1

Abstract

I derive the third order optics of quadrupoles. I transform away the derivatives of the strength function, and thus demonstrate that third order aberrations are insensitive to fringe field shaping. The results can be used for efficient tracking to third order or for simple and quick evaluation of nonlinear effects.
