R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

3. Linear betatron equations of motion (recap)
In the magnetic fields of dipoles magnets and quadrupole magnets the coordinates of the charged particle w.r.t. the reference orbit are given by the Hill’s equations
weak focussing of a dipole
quadrupole focussing
No periodicity is assumed but for a circular machine Kx, Kz and  are periodic
These are linear equations (in y = x, z). They can be integrated.
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

4. Pseudo-harmonic oscillations (recap)
The solution can be found in the form
which are pseudo-harmonic oscillations
The beta functions (in x and z) are proportional to the square of the envelope of the oscillations
The functions  (in x and z) describe the phase of the oscillations
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

5. Principal trajectories (recap)
The solutions of the Hill’s equation can be cast equivalently in the form of principal trajectories. These are two particular solutions of the homogeneous Hill’s equation
which satisfy the initial conditions
C(s0) = 1;C’(s0) = 0; cosine-like solution
S(s0) = 0;S’(s0) = 1; sine-like solution
The general solution can be written as a linear combination of the principal trajectories
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

6. Principal trajectories vs pseudo harmonic oscillations
We can express amplitude and phase functions
in terms of the principal trajectories
Simple algebraic manipulations yield
and viceversa
or more simply
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

7. Principal trajectories (recap)
As a consequence of the linearity of Hill’s equations, we can describe the evolution of the trajectories in a transfer line or in a circular ring by means of linear transformations
C(s) and S(s) depend only on the magnetic lattice not on the particular initial conditions
This allows the possibility of using the matrix formalism to describe the evolution of the coordinates of a charged particles in a magnetic lattice
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

8. Matrices of most common elements
Transfer lines or circular accelerators are made of a series of drifts and quadrupoles for the transverse focussing and accelerating section for acceleration.
Each of these element can be associated to a particular transfer matrix
Matrix of a drift space
Thin lens approximation
L  0, with KL finite
Matrix of a focussing quadurpole
Matrix of a defocussing quadurpole
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

9. Matrix formalism for transfer lines
For each element of the transfer line we can compute, once and for all, the corresponding matrix. The propagation along the line will be the piece-wise composition of the propagation through all the various elements L Q2 Q1 s1 s2
Notice that it works equally in the longitudinal plane, e.g.
thin lens quadrupole associate to an RF cavity of voltage V and length L
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

10. Matrix formalism and analogy with geometric optics
Particle trajectories can be described with a matrix formalism analogous to that describing the propagation of rays in an optical system.
The magnetic quadrupoles play the role of focussing and defocussing lenses, however notice that, unlike an optical lens, a magnetic quadrupole is focussing in one plane and defocussing in the other plane.

11. A slightly more complicated example: the FODO lattice (I)
Consider an alternating sequence of focussing (F) and defocussing (D) quadrupoles separated by a drift (O)
The transfer matrix of the basic FODO cell reads
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

12. Matrix elements from principal trajectories and optics functions
In terms of the amplitude and phase function the transfer matrix will read
where 0 , 0 and the phase 0 are computed at the beginning of the segment of transfer line
We still have not assumed any periodicity in the transfer line.
If we consider a periodic machine the transfer matrix over a whole turn reduces to (put  =  the phase advance in one turn)
This is the Twiss parameterisation of the one turn map
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

13. Stability of motion with the matrix formalism
Consider a circular accelerator with transfer matrix over one turn equal to M (one turn map). Using the Twiss parameterisation for M
After n turns, the transformation of the particle coordinates will be given by the successive application of the one turn matrix n times
In order for the phase advance  to be real and hence for the motion to be a stable oscillation, the one turn map must satisfy the condition
It can be proven that (see bibliography)
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

14. Example: the FODO lattice (II)
Using the Twiss parameterisation of the matrix or the FODO cell we have
hence
The stability requires
In a similar way we can compute the optics functions at the beginning of the FODO cell.
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

15. Optics functions in a transfer line
While in a circular machine the optics functions are uniquely determined by the periodicity conditions, in a transfer line the optics functions are not uniquely given, but depend on their initial value at the entrance of the system.
We can express the optics function in terms of the principal trajectories as
This expression allows the computation of the propagation of the optics function along the transfer lines, in terms of the matrices of the transfer line of each single element, i.e. also the optics functions can be propagated piecewise from
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

16. Examples In a drift space
The  function evolve like a parabola as a function of the drift length.
In a thin focussing quadrupole of focal length f = 1/KL
The  function evolve like a parabola in terms of the inverse of focal length

19. Betatron motion in phase space (recap)
The solution of the Hill’s equations
describe an ellipse in phase space (y, y’)
area of the ellipse in phase space (y, y’) is
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

20. Courant-Snyder invariant (I)
Hill’s equations have an invariant
This invariant is the area of the ellipse in phase space (y, y’) multiplied by .
This can be easily proven by substituting the solutions y, y’
into A(s). You will get the constant 
A(s) is called Courant-Snyder invariant
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

21. Courant-Snyder invariant (II)
Whatever the magnetic lattice, the area of the ellipse stays constant (if the Hill’s equations hold)
At each different sections s, the ellipse of the trajectories may change orientation shape and size but the area is an invariant.
This is true for the motion of a single particle !
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

22. Real beams – distribution function in phase space
A beam is a collection of many charged particles
The beam occupies a finite extension of the phase space and it is described by a distribution function  such that
The beam distribution is characterised by the momenta of various orders
Average coordinates (usually zero)
The R-matrix also called -matrix describes the equilibrium properties of the beam giving the second order momenta of the distribution
R11 = bunch H size; R33 = bunch Y size; R55 bunch Z size; R66 = energy spread
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

23. Gaussian beams
In many cases the equilibrium beam distribution is a Gaussian distribution
Usually the three planes are independent hence in each plane
The isodensity curves are ellipses
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

24. -matrix for Gaussian beams
The 6x6 –matrix can be partitioned into nine 2x2 submatrices
with (assuming <x> = 0 and <x’> = 0)
Direct computation using
yields
We can associate an ellipse with the Gaussian beam distribution. The evolution of the beam is completely defined by the evolution of the ellipse
The ellipse associated to the beam is chosen so that its Twiss parameters are those appearing in the distribution function, hence, e.g.
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

25. Generic beams – rms emittance
For a generic beam described by a distribution functions  we can still compute the average size and divergence and the whole -matrix
we associate to this distribution the ellipse which has the same second order momenta Rij and we deal with this distribution as if it was a Gaussian distribution
and since
The invariant of the ellipse will be
which is the rms emittance of the beam
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

26. Beam emittance and Courant-Snyder invariant
We have seen that the beam distribution can be associated to an ellipse containing 66% of the beam (one r.m.s.)
In this way the beam rms emittance is associated with the Courant Snyder invariant of the betatron motion
This links a statistical property of the beam (rms emittance) with single particle property of motion (the Courant-snyder invairnat)
In this way the Courant-Snyder invariant acquires a statistical significance as rms emittance of the beam. Hence the beam rms emittance is a conserved quantity also for generic beams.
This is valid as long as the Hill’s equations are valid or more generally the system is Hamiltonian. As such the conservation of the emittance is a manifestation of the general theorem of Hamiltonian system and statistical mechanics known as the Liouville theorem
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

27. Liouville’s theorem
Liouville’s theorem: In a Hamiltonian system, i.e. n the absence of collisions or dissipative processes, the density in phase space along the trajectory is invariant’.
Liouville theorem states that volume of 6D phase are preserved during the beam evolution (take f to be the characteristic function of the volume occupied by the beam). However if the Hamiltonian can be separated in three independent terms
The conservation of the phase space density occurs for the three projection on the
(x, px) plane (Horizontal emittance)
(y, py) plane (Vertical emittance)
(z, pz) = (, ) plane (longitudinal emittance)
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 1 May 2013

28. Beam emittance and Liouville’s theorem
The Courant-Snyder invariant is the area of the ellipse phase space.
The conservation of the area is a general property of Hamiltonian systems (any area not only ellipses !)
The invariance of the rms emittance is the particular case of a very general statement for Hamiltonian systems (Liouville theorem)
This is valid as long as the motion is Hamiltonian, i.e.
No damping effects, no quantum diffusion, due to emission of radiation
no scattering with residual gas, no beam beam collisions
no collective effects (e.g. interaction with the vacuum chamber, no self interaction)
