Spin tracking

Hi, Michael

Can dynamics of Spin be added to elegant. We are designing eRHIC , in which the preservation of spin is important in the electron ERL accelerator.

We wish to cooperate in start-to-end spin tracking in elegant. And perhaps this is also interesting problem for light sources?

Thank you.
Yue

Yue,

I don't have much knowledge of spin tracking, but I understand from others here that it is fairly involved. There's also not much application to light sources. I think there are many codes that do this already and that are well tested, so I think you'd be better off using one of those.
