Abstract

Ion superconducting linac is based on an array of short identical niobium cavities. By specific phasing of the RF cavities one can provide a stable particle motion in the whole accelerator. The longitudinal and transverse ion beam dynamics are studied in this linac. The equation of motion in the Hamiltonian form is devised by the smooth approximation. The focusing methods by the solenoid field and RF field are studied. The results of this investigation are compared with the matrix calculation of ion beam dynamics in superconducting linac.
