Description
Circular mode beams are beams with non-zero angular momentum and strong inter-plane plane coupling. This coupling can be achieved in linear accelerators (linacs) through magnetization of electrons or ions at the source. Depending on the magnetization strength, the intrinsic eigenmode emittance ratio can be large, which produces intrinsic flatness. This flatness can either be converted to real plane flatness or can be maintained as round coupled beam through the system. In this paper, we discuss rotation invariant designs that allow circular modes to be transported through the lattice while accelerating and maintaining its circularity. We demonstrate that with rotation invariant designs the circularity of the mode can be preserved as round beam while maintaining intrinsic flatness to be converted to flat beam later or injected into a ring.
