(Return to index)

Track particles or bunches.

An abstract base class for all visitors capable of tracking particles through a beam element.

Phase space coordinates (in this order):

x:
horizontal displacement (metres).
p_x/p_r:
horizontal canonical momentum (no dimension).
y:
vertical displacement (metres).
p_y/p_r:
vertical canonical momentum (no dimension).
delta_p/p_r:
relative momentum error (no dimension).
v*delta_t:
time difference delta_t w.r.t. the reference frame which moves with uniform velocity

v_r = c*beta_r = p_r/m

along the design orbit, multiplied by the instantaneous velocity v of the particle (metres).

Where
p_r:
is the constant reference momentum defining the reference frame velocity.
m:
is the rest mass of the particles.
Other units used:
reference momentum:
electron-volts.
accelerating voltage:
volts.
separator voltage:
volts.
frequencies:
hertz.
phase lags:
multiples of (2*pi).
