Longitudinal Beam Dynamics -- Recap

Accelerator Physics 2020-04-30 v2 Applied Physics Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

This paper gives a very brief summary of longitudinal beam dynamics for both linear and circular accelerators. After discussing synchronism conditions in linacs, it focuses on particle motion in synchrotrons. It summarizes the equations of motion, discusses phase-space matching during beam transfer, and introduces the Hamiltonian of longitudinal motion.
