Use of transfer maps for modeling beam dynamics in a nonscaling fixed-field alternating-gradient accelerator

Transfer maps for magnetic components are fundamental to studies of beam dynamics in accelerators. In the work presented here, transfer maps are computed in Taylor form for a particle moving through any specified magnetostatic field by applying an explicit symplectic integrator in a differential alg...
