Sextupole affects the beta function after an offset quad
Posted: 03 Aug 2020, 07:55
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 beta functions ELEGANT also take the effects of offset quads. I was wondering in this case how I can use sextupoles while keeping the beta functions as before.
Thank you in advance,
Farzad
