Re: Optimization appears to ignore some linked terms and miscalculate the beam size
Hi, First of all, as you have noticed, I found a problem with the display and saving of the linked value. This problem is corrected in the new version of TraceWin: 2.1.6.2 About the penalty function, I redo the calculation using your result and I confirm that the result is good. I understand that yo...

Re: Field Map and phase
Abs. Phase is the beam phase
There is not simple relation sheap between RF input phase and sychronous phase (see manual, chapter "Energy gain and synchronous phase").

Didier

Re: Field Map and phase
The last column is the absolute phase of the beam along the machine. If "1" the RF phase of the cavity is set to beam phase + Input_phase. If "0" the RF phase of the cavity is set to Input_phase. But here, phase error comming from beam or cavities are alway transported as le first case. Both cases s...

Re: Optimization appears to ignore some linked terms and miscalculate the beam size
Dear foshea, The D4 drift does not appear on the optimisation display because it is linked. So what's the point. But if you look in the "Data" tab-sheet after the optimisation, you can see its value equal to D3. Another way to check this, is to look the new final *.dat file created at the end of the...

Re: Field Map and phase
What ever the shape of the field, the synchonous phase definition is shown in chapter "Energy gain and synchronous phase" from manual. I believe the machine phase is the master clock, correct? I believe the "Abs. Phase" under the Data tab is the phase relative to the master clock, correct? Then, whe...

Re: Field Map and phase
Dear wtam, I understand that the absolute phase flag is a bit confusing. You have to know that in reality whether you put 1 or 0, TraceWin always works in absolute phase. But with 0 it is the phase errors that are absolute and not necessarily the beam itself, whereas with 1, it is the beam. In other...

Re: Tracking through Field Map
You have some examples (see menu "Help" -> "Examples") of using the field map, such as LBE1.ini or Field_map_dipole.ini. But none using a cylindrical file map format. And on my side, I never use this kind of field_map. Anyway, the syntax is available in the manual, see the FIELD_MAP item -> "the des...

Re: Tracking through Field Map
Dear Alexander,
If you aren't in the case of Field map curving reference trajectory (SUPERPOSE_MAP_OUT command), collective effect (I suppose space-charge) and misalignement features are implemented in the current TraceWin version.

Didier

Re: Understanding Phase Advance Optimization
Dear Foshea, First, it isn't clear to me if the phase advance is measured from the command, as the manual states, or from after the next element, which is the usual TraceWin convention. In the attached example, what value of N should I give to SET_BEAM_PHASE_ADV so that the phase advance is optimize...
