LORENTZ
Bending Magnet Showing Focusing Effect
LORENTZ is an easy-to-use solver for analyzing charged particle trajectories in the presence
of electric and magnetic fields.
Applications include:
- multipaction
- ion mobility spectroscopy (IMS)
- photomultiplier tubes
- paint sprayers
- electron guns
- microchannel plates
- beam lines
- X-ray tubes
- electron microscopes
- ion traps
- ion mass spectrometers
- time of flight
Einzel lens
Fast and accurate, LORENTZ calculates full secondary emissions, emittance, spot size and
radius.
Our powerful parametric solvers allow designers to automatically vary and experiment with geometry, materials and
sources – reducing the tedious, repetitive task of fine–tuning multiple design parameters.

- Compute lens focusing properties, lens aberrations, beam emittance and space charge
- Particle interaction with gravity, viscosity and mobility
- Select from various emission regimes including: Fowler-Nordheim, Child's Law, Richardson-Dushman, Schottky and Extended Schottky
- Full secondary emission is available with a probabilistic chance of emission depending on primary impact energies
- Display results with graphs, animations, and contour or arrow plots

The LORENTZ trajectory solver is an add-on menu for our standard 2D/RS & 3D EM field
solvers. The list below shows some LORENTZ options and the base field analysis module:
Static & low frequency:
Gridded ion source
High Frequency (significant wavelength effects)
Coupled Solver
- It is possible to combine field solvers so that (for example) both electric and magnetic
fields are used (LORENTZ2D-EM & LORENTZ3D-EM).
In all versions of LORENTZ, it is also possible to read in your own field data to
either add to or to use instead of our simulated fields.
