Basically there is a lot of inconsistency between the output for single particle tracking and beam tracking. For example, in 10_LongTermTracking/ParticleTrack
, use this init file:
¶ms
ltt%lat_file = "ring.bmad"
ltt%simulation_mode = "SINGLE"
ltt%tracking_method = "BMAD"
ltt%n_turns = 30
ltt%averages_output_file = "data"
beam_init%n_particle = 1
beam_init%center = 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
/
single.dat
output shows every single element, and all of the data.*
files are empty completely. Single tracking prints every element for the particle. Now switch the simulation mode to BEAM
and the data.*
files only show the last turn. The defaults are different.
Here is what changes I think should be made:
single.dat
) and beam tracking (.ave
, .emit
, etc) should print every element
The default of -1 is independent of the mode. I do not understand what the issue is. Please provide details.
