% 1. INTRODUCTION
We shall not present here a comprehensive consideration of the beam dynamics of the electron linear accelerator; for details, the
reader is referred to the publications of Chu (ML-140), Chu and Hansen.. . r~1i-66, ML-771, Chodorow et al. [Rev. sci. Instr. - 26, 134 (1955) 1, and Smars (ML-252). ing relevant facts emerge:

1) tic) sections of a linear accelerator, the motion is longitudinally
neutral, i.e., neither phase stable nor phase unstable; the relative
phase between particle and fields depends on the accuracy of control of
the phase and phase velocity within the accelerator structure and the
other radio-frequency components.
With the exception of the first few (not completely relativis-
2) In the nonrelativistic section, phase stability and bunching action are attainable at the expense of radial defocusing. This de-
focusing can be counteracted by external weak or strong focusing lenses.
3) No complete analysis has been made of the theoretical phase
acceptance of the nonrelativistic entrance section of an electron
linear accelerator with external lens focusing which takes into account
the coupling between longitudinal and radial dynamics. Analyses of 0 particular cases have shown that a phase acceptance in excess of 120
is easily possible; final bunching angles depend on the feasible length
of the nonrelativistic section.
(4) The current capacity of an electron accelerator (particularly at short wavelength) is limited by electron beam loading. In an accel- erator specifically designed for highest current operation, very heav-
ily loaded operation is possible; in this Proposal a loading of the
order of 10% is adopted.
(5) An ideal continuous linear accelerator guiding electrons approaching the velocity of light has very simple properties regarding
the radial behavior of the beam. The radial electric force is balanced by a magnetic force which is 2

2 (I TRANSVERSE BEAM DYNAMICS
The present discussion will concern the main accelerator. The - injector region, which may be composed of the first 10 to 100 feet of
the accelerator, will not be considered here except as a source of beam current for the main accelerator.
From the point of view of a beam-dynamics study the requirements
to be met are:
injected beam;
ity at the far end of the machine.
(1) transmission of a large fraction (near 100%) of the
(2) attainment of a beam having sufyiciently good qual-
2.1 BEAM QUALITY; PHASE SPACE
The "quality" of the beam may be defined in terms of the phase
space, proportional to
PP r jj.. dxdydzdp dp dpz X Y
(2.1-1)
where the integration is over a phase-space volume which includes the
trajectories of all particles; (x, y, z) and (px, py, p,) are respect-
ively the coordinates and their conjugate momenta. According to
Liouville's theorem this quantity will be conserved in any system for
which the equations of motion can be expressed in the Hamiltonian form.
An appropriate form of the phase-space integral for accelerator beam- optics is

where 7 is a measure of the kinetic energy, x' = dx/dz, y' = dy/dz,
and 8 is the phase angle spread of electron bunches. In beam-dynamics

always a linear transformation relating the coordinates
(yx'), (7y'), 673 to their initial values. A n alternate statement of
Liouville's theorem in this case is that the matrix of this transforma-
tion will always have a unit determinant, since this is the condition
for a unit Jacobian determinant in a linear transformation.
In this approximation there is

The most useful quality in defining the optical quality of a beam

axes, the x and y motions are decoupled, so that
In the present discussion we w i l l usually
Thus, the x and y projections of the phase space are meaningful
individually.
The transverse phase space generally will be considered for a
given energy 7, but in systems involving transverse deflections, for
example, there may be first-order coupling between energy and the trans-
verse coordinates (e.@;. , dispersion terms), so that for a finite spec- trum the transverse phase space need not be conserved. In processes
involving deflection or focusing by rf fields, there may a l s o be cou-
pling between phase angle 8 and transverse coordinates, leading again
to nonconservation of the transverse phase space.

Other processes leading effectively to phase-space nonconservation
might include scattering, collimation, and randomly varying forces

cluded in formulating the Hamiltonian of the system). In a region in which there are no accelerating fields, 7 is

As will be seen, these requirements place certain tolerances on machine alignment, symmetry (particularly coupler symmetry), and the
phase space and spectrum of the injected beam.

Some of the transverse forces, notably phase focusing in an ideal
uniform accelerator, and space-charge forces, vary approximately as

in the initial portion of the injection region but will be assumed to

the highly relativistic region: 1. Misalignment.

It has been assumed that the transverse motions are small and that
the velocity in the z-direction is nearly equal to the velocity of
light. Terms of order higher than the first in ', 7 ', and l/y have been dropped in going from time derivatives to c-derivatives.
We now consider these effects in greater detail.
2.3 MISALIGNME3VT EFFECTS
Misalignment can arise in two ways: mechanical errors in joining
the sections together, and bends arising from displacements in the sup-
porting structure. The first effect can amount to something like

4. SUMMARY
The main conclusions of the present study may be stated as follows:
(1) There appears to be no known reason why a beam of reasonably
good quality cannot be transmitted rrom the 100 ft point to the end of the machine with essentially no l o s s in current,
(2) The quantities (xpx)),2x) (fly) are conserved in the IlBX
presence of all known transverse forces except those arising rrom
coupler asymmetry, misalignment, and stray magnetic field. The toler-
ances imposed are estimated as
(a) Coupler asymmetry: ( h/E2) (bE2/bx) 2 .02 (a value of 0.05 has been obtained in an existing coupler).
(b) Magnetic field: uncompensated field - 0.04 gauss rms value per 320 ft sector: - 5 x gauss average value over entire
machine.
(e) Misalignment: - 0.2 cm maximum per steering period;
(3) A requirement for the beam quality of ( r dr/dz) 2 lom5 em - 10 cm maximum €or the whole machine €or a 1% spectrum.
m a X at the end of the machine implies (r dr/dz)mx cm at the 100 ft
point by virtue of the above approximate conservation law. (4) If we allow (r dr/dz)max to be as large as - cm at the
100 ft point, then quadrupole focusing is necessary but the quadrupoles
could be quite weak:
€or a typical focusing period near the 100 ft point.

( 5 ) Further analysis is needed in the following problems:
(a) Design of an actual focusing system (with discrete
quadrupoles rather than the continuous approximation used here).
(b) Effects of large, nonrandom bends and other perturbations.
(c) The conditions under which two beams having different
energies can be transmitted simultaneously.
(d) Extension of the whole problem of beam dynamics through
the injection region.
(e) The specific possibility of using fairly strong quadru- Such a system offers the possibility of containing
