Title: Particle dynamics in a wave with variable amplitude

Technical Report ·

Our past research efforts led to the derivation of the adiabatic invariant in spatially varying accelerator structures, to the calculation of the loss of the invariant due to trapping, and to a method for determining transverse invariants using a nonperturbative approach to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. These research efforts resulted in the training of two graduate students who are now working in the area of accelerator physics.
