Abstract

Non-linearities in beam dynamics of charged particles will be discussed. Lie-Methods in combination with differential algebra (DA) and truncated power series (TPS) will be used. We will use statistical mechanics to study storage rings and free electron lasers. Crystalline beams and quantum mechanics effects will be analysed towards possible a use of accelerator in quantum sensing.

Objective

Models for nonlinear beam dynamics can be applied to new or existing particle accelerators.

Content
