Abstract

This paper describes the beam dynamic simulation with transfer matrix method for four sector cyclotron. Starting from a description on the equation of motion in the cyclotron, lattice functions were determined from transfer matrix method and the solutions for the 2nd-order nonlinear Hamiltonian were introduced and used in phase space particle tracking. Based on the description of beam dynamics in the cyclotron, simulation code was also developed for cyclotron design.
