Global Reference Momentum

Before any physics computations are attempted the following command should be entered:

P0=real;
This command sets the global reference momentum in GeV/c, which is used to compute the magnetic fields from the normalised multipole coefficients. The BEAM command then renormalises the multipole coefficients. This mechanism allows sending a beam with a momentum different from the design momentum through a beam line.
