The Linear Parameters and the Decoupling Matrix for Linearly Coupled Motion in 6 Dimensional Phase Space
- Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)
It will be shown that starting from a coordinate system where the 6 phase space coordinates are linearly coupled, one can go to a new coordinate system, where the motion is uncoupled, by means of a linear transformation. The original coupled coordinates and the new uncoupled coordinates are related by a 6 x 6 matrix, R. R will be called the decoupling matrix. It will be shown that of the 36 elements of the 6 x 6 decoupling matrix R, only 12 elements are independent. This may be contrasted with the results for motion in 4- dimensional phase space, where R has 4 independent elements. A set of equations is given from which the 12 elements of R can be computed from the one period transfer matrix. This set of equations also allows the linear parameters, the βi,αi, i = 1, 3, for the uncoupled coordinates, to be computed from the one period transfer matrix. An alternative procedure for computing the linear parameters,βi,αi, i = 1, 3, and the 12 independent elements of the decoupling matrix R is also given which depends on computing the eigenvectors of the one period transfer matrix. These results can be used in a tracking program, where the one period transfer matrix can be computed by multiplying the transfer matrices of all the elements in a period, to compute the linear parameters αi and βi, i = 1, 3, and the elements of the decoupling matrix R. The procedure presented here for studying coupled motion in 6-dimensional phase space can also be applied to coupled motion in 4-dimensional phase space, where it may be a useful alternative procedure to the procedure presented by Edwards and Teng. In particular, it gives a simpler programing procedure for computing the beta functions and the emittances for coupled motion in 4-dimensional phase space.
