Simulation with Tracy

We have used Tracy [2], to simulate the injection process. It will be simulated using the following steps:

• Simulate the injection of a particle by tracking it from the exit of the septum to the end of the lattice, with the right kickers settings.
• Track that particle along the machine while the kickers are active (the following three turns).
• Track a beam of particles around that reference particle. This beam will be represented by an ellipse in phase space with the parameters given in 3.
• Evaluate the acceptance required to capture the above mentioned beam.
• Track the reference particle for a number of turns of the order of one damping time (9 ms at 2.4 GeV) around the machine, including radiation and cavity effects. We will track the particles 15000 turns.

For some of the process we can use the standard Tracy library calls for tracking. However, we will need to provide new routines for the the ellipse tracking and the evaluation of the physical acceptance, but is quite straight forward to write those.

For all the calculations, the effects of the RF cavities and the radiation have been included.
