Hi,
Would it be possible to add canonical emittances in sddsanalyzebeam. Right now the enx eny are
trace space normalized emittance and sometime they can be very different from the usual canonical
emittances, e.g. for beam with very large energy spread. This feature would allow sddsanalyzebeam
to reliably analyze the outputs of other programs, e.g. ASTRA/Impact. Thank you!

Below is what I meant by canonical emittance (defined as enxcan) -- this is probably not the optimum
way to do this.

Philippe,

Thanks for the suggestion. This will appear as an option for sddsanalyzebeam in the next release.
