Long Term Stability in Storage Rings
Nonlinear normal form theory and interval
arithmetic were used to make rigorous and therefore extremely reliable
statements about the time for which particles can be stored in circular
accelerators. Applications to other weakly nonlinear dynamical systems
are possible.
