Dear Didier,
may will be possbile to include in the errors study Statistic results also the 4D and 6D emittance ?
In some cases we have seen an emittance exchange between the planes and can be useful to check if the total emittance is conserved.

Dear Michele,

Do you speak about "histogram" plots ?

Dear Didier,
yes, you can include the 4D and 6D emittances on the histograms plots.
I mean on the file "Statistic_Errors_1_PAR_tot.txt" but you can also use the Density_Tot_PAR_1_xxx.dat file as you prefer.

Dear Michele,

New TraceWin version available including 4D & 6D emitances in histogram charts.

Dear Didier,
thank you for the 4D-6D emittance plot!

Dear Didier,

Regarding the 6D emittance for the error studies, as Dr. Comunian pointed out, it is expected that the 6D emittance is preserved even when some transfer occurs in the planes.

However, I simulated an error case, asking for the results to be compared against the ideal case (Beam reference: Output).
The output file (attached) shows that in some cases, the 6D emittance is lower than the ideal case for non-beam losses cases.
In addition, the last run shown all the emittance decreased in all three planes, as well as the 6D emittance without beam losses.
Could you comment on that?

Finally, on the output file, the last column title shows "Emit_6D/Emit0_4D-1", but in the TraceWin Manual mentioned "Emit_6D/Emit0_6D-1".
Could you confirm what parameter is computed?

Best regards,

Bruce

Dear Bruce,

I made some correction in the last TraceWin version some weeks ago and in particular on the error in the title of the last column.
So I don't know if this explains your strange observations, but before looking any further, try running your tests again with the latest version. This may resolve your abnormal results. That said, the 4D and 6D emittance values are very relevant in matrix calculations (envelope), but they are sometimes more questionable because they are approximate in tracking mode.

Dear Didier,

Thanks for your recommendations.
I updated to 2.25.2.4.
I attached the results of a short run. (I removed the last lines of the file where the type of errors is printed out).
1) The title of the last column is "Emit_6D/Emit0_4D-1"
2) The runs 7 (line 9) and 15 (last line) both present a decrease of 2D-emittances, 4D- and 6D, without beam losses. (The same results persists).

Thanks for your help and time,

Bruce

Dear Brune,

I'm sorry, mais the last version is 2.25.2.9 !!
Please upgrade your version

Regards,

Didier
