Title: Superconvergent tracking and invariant surfaces in phase space

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5673876

The question of long term beam stability in very large storage rings presents an extraordinary challenge in nonlinear dynamics. Since current computational methods seem less than adequate on the long time scales involved, we have undertaken a program of evaluating several methods that either are new or have not been tried in accelerator problems heretofore. The methods we investigate fall into two categories: (1) iteration of maps describing concatenated machine elements, for tracking of single particles, and (2) infinite-time methods for direct computation of invariant surfaces in phase space.
