Title: Explicit higher order symplectic integrator for s-dependent magnetic field

Journal Article · · Physical Review E
OSTI ID:835340

We derive second and higher order explicit symplectic integrators for the charged particle motion in an s-dependent magnetic field with the paraxial approximation. The Hamiltonian of such a system takes the form of H {summation}{sub k}(p{sub k} - a{sub k} {rvec q}, s){sup 2} + V({rvec q}, s). This work solves a long-standing problem for modeling s-dependent magnetic elements. Important applications of this work include the studies of the charged particle dynamics in a storage ring with strong field wigglers, arbitrarily polarized insertion devices,and super-conducting magnets with strong fringe fields. Consequently, this work will have a significant impact on the optimal use of the above magnetic devices in the light source rings as well as in next generation linear collider damping rings.
