General Formalism for Longitudinal Dynamics of Acceleration
Orthodox particle accelerators are predicated on the use of systems which are oscillators for excursions about a fixed reference orbit.
The FFAGs, in particular, provide an opportunity to consider reference orbits which are themselves nonlinear oscillators:
Where x is the relative arrival time so it follows the orbital pathlength changes and is ultimately associated with the running phase relation to the rf. y (E - Ec) or the difference energy relative to a defined central energy which is the orbit chosen synchronous with the rf.)

Define Different Modes of Acceleration
1. a=b=0 : acceleration voltage is independent of momentum On-momentum beam is accelerated at the fixed point; (describes conventional synchrotron/cyclotron acceleration)
2. a=b=1: orbital frequency, and phase-slip/turn is linearly dependent on momentum; acceleration profile depends on rf frequency and voltage (describes scaling FFAG acceleration)
3. a=b=2: orbital frequency and phase-slip/turn has a quadratic dependence on momentum; acceleration profile depends on rf frequency and voltage (describes non-scaling FFAG acceleration)
Example: Choice of rf-synchronous orbits
In the case of a scaling FFAG, an appropriate choice of rf frequency allows the sign of the phase slip to change once; with the relative phase of the beam crossing the crest of the rf twice
In a linear, non-scaling FFAG, the phase-slip can reverse twice with an implied potential for beam’s arrival time to cross the crest three times,

2nd case: Scaling FFAGLinear Dependence of Pathlength on Momentum
The motion is determined by the location and nature of the (single) fixed points and the contours of constant Hamiltonian as plotted in the following figures.
Although the solution is identical to a conventional synchroton rf bucket (libration above and below and the separatrix and rotation within), it is stationary. Acceleration occurs by injecting at the bottom and extracting at the top (1/2 synchrotron oscillation).
Linear oscillator for =1 (top) and =1 (bottom)
Of particular interest: 3rd case
Is the case a=b=2, which is representative of the quadratic pathlength dependence of the nonscaling FFAG.
For this case there are two stable fixed points x1,2 = ±(1,1) and two unstable fixed points x5,6 = ± (-1,1). The following figures show contours of constant hamiltonian and how the topography changes in response to varying
Parabolic oscillator for =1/2
The changes are discontinuous at =1
For < 1 vs. > 1 there is a sideways/upwards serpentine path and for 1 there is a trapping of two counter-rotating eddies within a background flow stream.
Bi-parabolic oscillator:
= 1/10 = 1 = 2
Discrete Acceleration
The initial equation is an isolated resonance. It is easiest to first reproduce acceleration in a discrete location or set of lumped cavities:
where Tc=Lc/c represents a choice of “central orbit” at the central energy, Ec and T=L/c, L=L-Lc, which has a linear or quadratic energy dependence for a scaling or nonscaling FFAG, respectively.
Here you can see 1-x2→cos(xπ/2) for both cases and the periodicity of fixed points becomes much richer.

Two modes of acceleration in a nonscaling FFAG when > 2/3
A bunch can be accelerated about a fixed point, starting at the bottom and ½ a synchrotron oscillation later extracted above the fixed point, over a total possible range in y of 3 units (the crest of the waveform is crossed twice). This is the only mode of acceleration possible in a scaling FFAG with high frequency rf.
However, A serpentine libration flows along y = (-2,+2,-2,+2…) while x
increases without limit. This “gutter” feature can be used to augment the range of acceleration, the crest of the waveform is crossed three times giving a greater energy gain of 4 units in y.
Width or phase space acceptance of gutter depends on cavity voltage above the critical value of c=2/3

Distributed/Nondistributed rf cavities
Phase advance vs. location criteria allow the cavities to obey this discrete set of equations on an individual cavity basis even when they are not lumped; you could simply space them by 2nπ, for example.
One can now solve for an optimum frequency which applies to any cavity configuration (it is actually synchronous with the orbit at two energies) and minimize with respect to the reference particle in bunch: Linear sum of the phase slip Rms of the phase slip
Both stratedgies are “asynchronous”; in the first the initial cavity phases are identical, the second allows the initial phases to vary cavity to cavity.
Fixed Initial Phase: Strategy
In effect you are free to pick Ls, ω, and V such that for a single reference particle at each cavity, φtotal=Σδφturn=0†, and there is no net phase slip for the reference particle only. This is equivalent to minimizing the phase of the reference particle relative to the crest of the rf. Accumulated phase slip is not zero for off-energy particles and continues to increase on a per turn basis; with the inevitable consequence that more and more particles are lost as a function of number of turns.
If the frequency of the bunch train = the optimal frequency of the rf, a bunch train can be maintained and accelerated with the same longitudinal dynamics.
†Optimal frequency under this condition occurs when the reference particle spends equal intervals in time (or energy) in pathlength regions above and below the two points at which the phase slip reverses.
Optimal Choice of rf Frequency
21 3 TT
Optimizes transmission by correctly positioning injection within the gutter channel
Variable-Phasing of Cavities: Strategy
This approach more closely addresses the phase slippage of a distribution—the beginning phase of each cavity is adjusted to minimize the rms of the phase slip of the reference particle relative to “ideal” acceleration (ideal phasing is where the phase of a cavity is adjusted on a per turn basis to match the arrival time of a reference particle.)
This also implies the rf frequency, in addition to a variable initial phase for each cavity around the ring, can be chosen to minimize the rms phase slippage of the distribution. (Cavity frequencies are not individually varied however).
Minimizes Σδφturn; produces slightly better extracted phase space distributions, but does not increase the number of turns.
Ideal Phasing
Even with synchronous phasing because of the nonlinear phase relation of off-energy particles, the centroid energy of the distribution does not concide with the reference particle, which is on-crest at every cavity crossing:
Centroid energy versus arrival phase for 5(black), 6(red), 7(green), 8(blue), 12(cyan), 16(magenta), and 20 (coral) turns.
In the following . . .
over factor - represents the increased rf voltage relative to pure crest acceleration from injection to extraction
E - the relative increase in energy from injection to extraction: this is found to be somewhat variable due to the nonlinear acceleration of the beam centroid.
accept - the emittance effectively accelerated to extraction in eV-sec (0.5 eV-sec has been the nominal longitudinal emittance/bunch of upstream systems)
- the average value of the cosine at the time of cavity crossing which is a measure of efficient usage of cavity voltage
- is of course the nonlinear oscillator parameter defined in the equations
