Why twiss doea not symmetry?

Post by shancai » 19 Mar 2009, 05:33

I use the attached lattice to compute twiss parameters.
I get a unsymmetry result, but the lattice has symmetry layout.
I don't know the reason.

Can you post the files in a different format? I don't have any software that will extract files from a RAR file.

tar and zip formats are more universal.

Can this file be opened?

Thanks a lot!

Shancai,

The lattice layout is symmetric, but the quadrupole strengths are not. To get a symmetric solution, Q1, Q2, and Q3, must have the same strength as Q8, Q7, and Q6, respectively.

If you make a new beamline like this:
twosec: line=(onesp,-onesp)
you'll find it has symmetric lattice functions.
