| contents | The goal of this contribution is to introduce the Hamiltonian formalism of theoretical mechanics for analysing motion in generic linear and non-linear dynamical systems, including particle accelerators. This framework allows the derivation and integration of equations of motion, in order to describe the particle trajectory evolution with respect to time. First, basic concepts are re-visited for describing particle propagation through the resolution of differential equations, applied to linear and non-linear motion. These equations of motion can be obtained by the Lagrangian of the system, which is the natural step leading to Hamiltonian Formalism and its properties. The accelerator ring Hamiltonian is derived, starting with the relativistic Hamiltonian of particles in the influence of E/M fields and a series of canonical (or symplectic) transformations and approximations. Thereby, introductory concepts of beam dynamics such as invariants and transport matrices are revisited and extended towards generic concepts such as action-angle variables and symplectic maps. To this end, the ground is prepared for the advanced methods and tools used for studying non-linear motion in particle accelerators. |
