Abstract

Parasitic sextupole fields present in magnetic quadrupole lenses can be corrected by shunting the current flowing through one or two adjacent pole piece coils. It is shown here that this procedure can be limited by hysteresis in the quadrupole lens. This means that the sextupole field strength and also the size of the current shunts required to correct it depend on the direction of the current flow in the lens.
