  A Hénon-Heiles system is a simple, classical nonlinear Hamiltonian system offering a wide range of particle dynamics from regular orbits to resonant behavior to chaotic trajectories. Initially proposed to describe the motion of stars around a galactic center, it remains a vivid topic in Dynamics and Mathematical Physics since its discovery in 1964. Although the system and its modifications have been extensively studied numerically, its dynamics has never been observed in a controlled experiment. In this report we show that it is possible to create the Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian using sextupoles in a realistic accelerator lattice. We propose a special sextupole channel to create the desired potential at the IOTA ring and study the 3D single particle dynamics by frequency map analysis and Poincare cross-sections. The proposed experiment would allow real world testing of regular and chaotic motion with a controlled strength of the nonlinearity.
