In Hamiltonian mechanics, the phase space of a physical system with

degrees of freedom is the domain of the Hamiltonian. It is

dimensional, with half of the dimensions corresponding to the canonical coordinates and the other half to the momenta.

Its points are described by the canonical coordinates .
