Magnetic channels are used in cyclotrons and accelerators for extraction of ion beams. Passive magnetic channels use iron bars to lower the magnetic field locally and set up a field gradient. In order that the beam quality does not deteriorate, this field gradient should be highly uniform. We have used the random search method for improving the field quality of a magnetic channel by modifying the geometric parameters of a conventional channel.
