This study presents a general analysis of how the transverse rotational symmetry of a beam imposes equality constraints among transverse beam moments. Efficient analytic methods are developed to derive symmetry-imposed constraints among kth order moments in beams with continuous or n-fold rotational symmetry for arbitrary k and n. The formalism also enables one to construct symmetry arguments based on how discrete and continuous rotational symmetries manifest themselves differently in terms of beam moments. Three case studies on beams with continuous, twofold, and threefold rotational symmetries are conducted. We prove that, regardless of their triangulation, beams with threefold rotational symmetry (e.g., from electron cyclotron resonance ion source) always have the same rms properties as beams with cylindrical symmetry. These counterintuitive results derived purely from symmetry considerations have clarified beam dynamics at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. |
