  • Abstract
    The concept of r.m.s. emittance is extended to the case of several degrees of freedom that are coupled. The multidimensional emittance is lower than the product of the emittances attached to each degree of freedom, but is conserved in a linear motion. An envelope-hyperellipsoid is introduced to define the p-functions of the beam envelope. On the contrary for one-degree of freedom motion, it is emphasized that these envelope functions differ from the amplitude functions of the normal modes of motion as a result of the difference between the Liouville and Lagrange invariants
