Gaussian beam initialization with moments_output results
Posted: 08 Jul 2016, 21:08
Dear Michael,
It seems the bunched_beam command does not have an option to generate a Guassian beam matched to a ring lattice with transverse coupling. I understand one can initialize a beam with the result of twiss_output and track in the ring for several damping times to obtain a properly matched Gaussian beam, but it would be more straightforward if bunched_beam command could intialize a beam using the results of moments_output directively. Thanks!
