Extension of Busch's Theorem to Particle Beams
arXiv:1709.09538 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.21.014201
Abstract
In 1926, H. Busch formulated a theorem for one single charged particle moving along a region with a longitudinal magnetic field [H. Busch, Berechnung der Bahn von Kathodenstrahlen in axial symmetrischen electromagnetischen Felde, Z. Phys. 81 (5) p. 974, (1926)]. The theorem relates particle angular momentum to the amount of field lines being enclosed by the particle cyclotron motion. This paper extends the theorem to many particles forming a beam without cylindrical symmetry. A quantity being preserved is derived, which represents the sum of difference of eigen-emittances, magnetic flux through the beam area, and beam rms-vorticity multiplied by the magnetic flux. Tracking simulations and analytical calculations using the generalized Courant-Snyder formalism confirm the validity of the extended theorem. The new theorem has been applied for fast modelling of experiments with electron and ion beams on transverse emittance re-partitioning conducted at FERMILAB and at GSI.
