Abstract: | A system of motion equations presented for charged particles in betatron magnetic fields makes it possible to conduct all
particle dynamics calculations in relative units because the particle velocity components are expressed in terms of trajectory
geometry using comparatively simple notation, and the conversion from relative to absolute units is easily carried out in
terms of the radius of a fixed orbit and the magnetic induction of the field on it. This equation system has been used successfully
to investigate particle dynamics in an electron beam extracted from a betatron and to determine the principal parameters of
the beam; the results were confirmed in practice.
