Conventions
Regarding the various conventions we mostly follow MADX in order to provide a smooth transition from one program to the other and hence the user may refer to 1 (Chapter 1) for details.
Units for the various physical quantities follow the MADX definitions (see 1, Chapter 1.8).
The phase-space coordinates used for particle tracking are
(x, px, y, py, t, pt)
(see 2 for details).A right-handed curvilinear coordinate system is assumed (see 1, Chapter 1.1).
Similar analogies with MADX hold for the various commands and their parameters.
