In accelerator physics, mapping matrix is often used to describe particle's motion.For a given one turn mapping matrix,namely M(s+L|s) ,and initial (x,x').After matrix multiplication, I find the value of (x,x') changes which means particle's position and angle changes at the same s after one turn mapping.This shows the trajectory of this particle is not closed.I can't understand why this happens.
