Generalized Courant-Snyder theory for coupled transverse dynamics of charged particles in electromagnetic focusing lattices

The Courant-Snyder theory gives a complete description of the uncoupled transverse dynamics of charged particles in electromagnetic focusing lattices. In this paper, the Courant-Snyder theory is generalized to the case of coupled transverse dynamics with two degrees of freedom. The generalized theor...
