Abstract

This paper considers an intense nonneutral ion beam propagating in the z-direction through a periodic focusing quadrupole field with transverse focusing force, Ffoc = -κq(s)(xex-yey), on the beam ions. A third-order Hamiltonian averaging technique using a canonical transformation is employed to transform away the rapidly oscillating terms. This leads to a Hamiltonian, H(X, Y, X′, Y′, s) = (1/2)(X′2+Y′2)+(1/2)κfq (X2+Y2) +ψ(X, Y, s), in the transformed variables (X, Y, X′, Y′), where the focusing coefficient κfq is constant, and many solutions and properties of the Vlasov-Maxwell system are well known.
