“…Similarly, the fhst order moments of eq (6) yield the following & = XL &: = -k;,,z:, t k& < zm > ~ < 9 > k;Yc= c d _" &y: = -k&y,-< e > (8) Note that if h,, = 0, eq (7) forms a closed sets of 8 equations, and eq (8) forms two sets of two closed equations If h,, # 0, eqs (7) and (8 of an infinite hierarchy of moment equations ) form the beginning For the case of alternating gradient focusing, and when the bends occupy only a fraction of the lattice, the focusmg constants J&, kj&, and the bend radius of curvature pO are dependent on s This s-dependence of the external forces implies that there will not be a constant energy-like quantity However, as in ref [l], if lipO~,~pOy, and p. are constants representing average quantities, we may define a transverse energy H:…”
