Renormalization group reduction of the Hénon map and application to the transverse betatron motion in cyclic accelerators

The renormalization group (RG) method is applied to the study of discrete dynamical systems. As a particular example, the Hénon map is considered as being applied to describe the transverse betatron oscillations in a cyclic accelerator or storage ring possessing a FODO-cell structure with a single thin sextupole. A powerful RG method is developed that is valid correct to fourth order in the perturbation amplitude, and a technique for resolving the resonance structure of the Hénon map is also presented. This calculation represents an application of the RG method to the study of discrete dynamical systems in a unified manner capable of reducing the dynamics of the system both far from and close to resonances, thus preserving the symplectic symmetry of the original map.
