Nonlinear Dynamics in Particle Accelerators
Particle Accelerators are a practically important example for nonlinear Hamiltonian dynamics in four or six variables. In general, the motion is weakly nonlinear, making it amenable to a variety of perturbative techniques besides the traditional symplectic integration techniques.
The symposium gives an account of typical nonlinear effects that can be encountered in the dynamics in accelerators. A variety of perturbative methods are discussed, including the determination of pseudo-invariants by normal form and other approaches. The analysis of the motion allows estimates of the long time stability of the system; using methods of verified global optimization, in many situations even mathematically rigorous bounds for stability times can be obtained.
