In longitudinal beam dynamics, particles exhibits a synchrotron motion. The motion has an amplitude (action) dependant synchrotron frequency. The motion is defined in terms of rf phase devotion deviation ##\phi## as:
##H=\dot \phi^2/2 - \Omega_s^2 \cos(\phi)##
I am trying to write the particle distribution in terms of Hamiltonian ##f_H(H)## and action ##f_I(I)##, I know that the distribution has Gaussian distribution In terms of action ##f_I(I)=1/\sigma_I^2 \exp(-H/\sigma_I^2)##, but I do not know what is ##\sigma_I## means and how to find it. I have ##\sigma_\phi## and ##\sigma_{\dot phi} = h \eta w \sigma_{\delta_p}##.

where ##\Omega_s## is the nominal synchrotron frequency, h is the rf harmonic of accelerating voltage, ##\eta## is the slip factor, w is the revolution frequency, ##\sigma_{\Delta_p}## is the standard devotion deviation of the momentum deviation.

One more question, in the machine parameters its written that the ##\sigma_{\delta_p}## is not given, instead the max ##\Delta_p/p## is given, is it ok to assume that ##\sigma_{\delta_p}=(\Delta_p/p)_{max}/4##

@M.A.M.Abed I have attempted to revise your LaTeX into a more readable form, but I'm not certain that my changes are true to what you wrote. Please let me know if you have any questions about what I did.

I am still not sure what is going on with your question, but a Hamiltonian describes the behavior of one particle and you seem to be asking about distributions. Normally, one considers a statistical/phase space approach to understand distributions,

Note that the time it takes to fill phase space can be long compared to the time the beam is in the accelerator, but it doesn't have to be. So you will need to take care that your calculational assumptions are accurate.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
