elegant output units

[swebb]

Hello all,

I am reading through the elegant manual, and in Section 5 it discusses fiducialization. But in Section 7.51, "sdds_beam", there is talk of x, x', y, y', t, p. Does elegant track in deviation transverse coordinates and absolute (t, p) since p = \beta \gamma would be the absolute momentum, or does it track in fiducial coordinates? What are the unit conventions for output and input?

Thanks for your help!

Stephen,

Sorry for the delayed reply. The forum email notifications are not function, again.

Being originally a matrix code elegant generally tracks (x, x', y, y', s, (p-p0)/p0) internally. It provides (t, p) as output because I find that is generally more useful. Units are SI.
