After the ion beams are extracted from ion sources, it is necessary to transport the beams to the experimental areas or to the accelerating installations. Low‐energy beam transport systems usually consist of some axially symmetrical electrostatic focusing and accelerating lenses as well as quadrupoles and dipoles. Here, we discuss the calculation methods for the beam transport in electrostatic lens systems and describe a computer program for this use.
