Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 6, 104002 (2003) [6 pages]Round-to-flat transformation of angular-momentum-dominated beams
Kwang-Je Kim Received 13 June 2003; published 30 October 2003 A study of round-to-flat configurations, and vice versa, of angular-momentum-dominated beams is presented. The beam propagation in an axial magnetic field is described in terms of the familiar Courant-Snyder formalism by using a rotating coordinate system. The discussion of the beam transformation is based on the general properties of a cylindrically symmetric beam matrix and the existence of two invariants for a symplectic transformation in 4D phase space. ©2003 The American Physical Society
