Main Methods:

  • Derivation of the eikonal method from a standard Hamiltonian.
  • Reformulation of the eikonal method for simplified computations.
  • Development of a successive approximation for coupled spin and orbit dynamics.

Main Results:

  • A simplified eikonal method derivation suitable for accelerator physics.
  • A new approximation effectively handles nonlinear effects in spin-orbit motion.
  • The method shows promise for analyzing high-energy polarized electron and proton beams.

Conclusions:

  • The reformulated eikonal method offers a more accessible approach to particle dynamics in accelerators.
  • The new approximation advances the understanding of nonlinear spin effects in high-energy beams.
  • This work facilitates the design and analysis of next-generation particle accelerators.
