Angle rad (radians)
Quadrupole coefficient m**(-2)
Multipole coefficient, 2n poles m**(-n)
Electric voltage MV (Megavolts)
Electric field strength MV/m
Frequency MHz (Megahertz)
Phase angles 2 pi
Particle energy GeV
Particle mass GeV/c**2
Particle momentum GeV/c
Beam current A (Amperes)
Particle charge e (elementary charges)
Impedances MOhm (Megohms)
Emittances pi m mrad
