Phys. Rev. E 50, 4017–4021 (1994)Transport integral: A method to calculate the time evolution of phase-space distributionsReceived 22 August 1994; published in the issue dated November 1994 An analytical technique using integral equations for the transport of ion-optical intensity distributions through magnetic systems is described. It can serve as an alternative to Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the time evolution of phase-space distributions of any given shape. Under the assumption of linear optics, the solution of the integral equations can be reduced to convolution products. One major application of this approach is the fast calculation of the transmission and purification of radioactive nuclear beams produced by projectile fragmentation. © 1994 The American Physical Society URL:
