I'm sure Michael or some other talented scripter can do this more efficiently by piping the info around instead of writing files, but the following works easy enough and prints out the calculated emittance based on both the r.m.s. and gaussian fit values. It assumes you've ...

Hello, I have a beam which has a mostly gaussian distribution but some tails. Although there is <10% of the beam in the tails, the sigmas (Sx, Sy) are correspondingly much larger than the values I get from a gaussian fit.

Now I would like to simultaneously optimize on T566 as well but it's not in the %s.fin file. Any ideas how I c...
