Hi Michael,

I was wondering why the collimator element in ELEGANT doesn't depend on the type of the material (Copper, Tungsten, ...) and just depends on the length.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

OK... I will try it with CCBEND.

Hi Michael,

I was wondering why the center element doesn't bring the beam back on the center after quad?

Thanks,

Hi Michael, I designed a beam line with offset quads as bending magnets and I want to use sextuples to reduce emittance growth. I use center element to bring back the beam on the center after each quad, but sextupoles after the offset quads change the beta functions. It seems that to calculate the b...

Hi Michael,

Is there any way in ELEGANT to simulate CSR for an offset quad as a bending magnet?

Thanks,

Hi Michael, I have been trying to match 6 parameters at the end of the beam line (betax, betay, alphax, alphay, etax and etaxp). I am using 6 quadrupoles . I tried many times with different starting values (random number generator for initial k value for each quad) but ELEGANT was not able to find t...

Hi Michael,

How can I make a beam with higher order dispersion etax2, etax3 included?

Thanks,
Farzad

Hi Michael, I am trying to use sextupoles for reducing emittance growth in the beam line after the dipole. Since there is dispersion (in x), I expect that sextupoles just affect the emittance growth in x. But both emittances decrease using these sextupoles while there is dispersion just in x not in ...

Dear Micheal,

My question is a general question. For example, How can I get a bunch with linear particle distribution in X but a Gaussian energy distribution also in X?
(or any other distribution which is different from the particle distribution)

Hi Michael,

Is it possible to set an energy distribution which is different from particle distribution in ELEGANT?
In &bunched_beam you can just set particle distribution and ELEGANT takes the same distribution for the energy.


Thanks,
