SixTrackLib

SixTrackLib is a tracking engine for particle tracking. It is implemented in C.

The src folder contains implementations of various Sixtrack Maps in C and Python.

The examples folder has the Benchmarking results (in examples/benchmark files) for the C Maps and error functions against Sixtrack and Python and codes for generating the same. The benchmarking has been completed for the following maps:

Drift Drift_Exact Multipole Align Block and for errf() and wzsub() error functions.

The anshu folder contains code for Differential Algebra and RPN calculator in C and RPN parser in Python.

The kartikeya folder holds the Sixtrack Legacy code, the refactored Sixtrack code, an initial version of the C Library and some map test results.

Steps to clone the repository: -

1. git clone https://github.com/SixTrack/SixTrackLib.git
   

Steps to run the refactored C code: -

1. change directory to src using cd src
   
2. edit the SRCS macro in the makefile and run make
   
3. edit track.py python API to enter appropriate Input for the maps provided
   
4. run make test
   

Steps to run the previous version of code: -

1. cd kartikeya / sixtrack_lib / SixTrack / SixTrack_4518_cernlib_crlibm_gfortran_O4
   
2. make -f make_SixTrackLib
   
3. ./SixTrack_4518_cernlib_crlibm_gfortran_O4
   
4. python read_fortbin.py
