Abstract: The transverse motion of particles in fixed field accelerators with mid-plane symmetry is entirely determined by the properties of the closed orbits. In this study I exploit this property to produce a variety of isochronous, and non-isochronous, magnetic field distributions. All the results presented in this paper are verified using CYCLOPS simulations.

I might have missed it, but how do you interpolate between the five orbits at different radii?
Thank you Stephen for this question. I use (quadratic) splines to interpolate the orbit parameters: C(a) and \phi(a). If you want to have a look at the source code, it is available here:
