Beam distribution import (sdds_beam)
Posted: 16 Nov 2015, 13:10
Hi Michael,
another basic question from here:
how exactly is "t" coordinate of the sdds beam translated into spatial coordinates at the beginning of the lattice?
Is it taking the average of the beam and sets this to be strictly at the beginning of the first element of the beamline?
Can I import the beam with t not centered around zero, but some finite value?
What I'm doing is a multistage simulation with (straight sections with elegant, bunch compressors with CSRTrack) and so I'm cutting my beam line into pieces. Whenever I import back to elegant, I don't have to re-center particle distribution around t=0, right?
Many thanks!
