This fact indicates that the proper use of multipole magnets enables the diverse beam profile shapings that cannot be achieved by common linear focusing, such as quadrupole magnets. We have, therefore, investigated the feasibility of the beam profile shaping (other than uniform profiles) by means of nonlinear focusing. Recently, we have experimentally demonstrated the formation of an ion beam with a hollow transverse distribution using octupole and sextupole magnets. It has been found that the hollow beam has a steep peak at the radial edge and that its cross-sectional shape varies diversely depending on the order and strength of the applied multipole magnets. In the presentation, the first experimental result of the hollow-beam formation will be reported together with the theoretical analysis of the behavior of a nonlinear-focused beam. Moreover, other unique beam profiles obtained through the nonlinear force of the multipole magnets will also be shown. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
