Alternative approach to general coupled linear optics

The Twiss parameters provide a convenient description of beam optics in uncoupled linear beam lines. For coupled beam lines, a variety of approaches are possible for describing the linear optics; here, we propose an approach and notation that naturally generalizes the familiar Twiss parameters to th...
