Single Particle Tracking Code

• Purpose of the code :

  The aim of SixTrack is to track two nearby particles taking into account the full six-dimensional phase space including synchrotron oscillations in a symplectic manner. It allows to predict the long-term dynamic aperture which is defined as the border between regular and chaotic motion. This border can be found by studying the evolution of the distance in phase space of two initially nearby particles.
