THEORY OF R.F. ACCELERATION IN FIXED FIELD CIRCULAR ACCELERATORS. The Effect of Radially Varying Accelerating Gap-voltages on the Synchrotron Oscillations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4314106
Report No. 6 on Study Programme on Beam Stacking Processes. It has been pointed out by Walkinshaw that the effect of a radially varying accelerating gap voltage amplitude, as far as the theory of r-f acceleration of charged particles in fixed field circular accelerators is concerned, may be taken into account simply by making the appropriate choice of canonical variables to describe the motion. The basic equations of motion in a single gap machine are derived as previously done, with the exception that now the gap voltage amplitude shall contain a radially dependent factor. Walkinshaw's theory is outlined. (M.H.R.)
