SixTrack Wiki Page

This is a work-in-progress documentation page for SixTrack (6D particle tracking code) and related tools.

SixTrack is written in fortran. The code is organized in .s files that contain code blocks: these are assembled in regular .f fortran files by astuce, according to rule files mask/*.ast and user defined flags.

The wiki pages contain:

• SixTrackSource: information on the source code organization,
• SixTrackBuild: tips on how to build the files,
• SixTrackTestSuite: test suite for sixtrack
• SixTrackDoc: description of the main flow, variable and function semantics,
  • SixTrackDecksBlocks
  • SixTrackDocVariables: variable flow from input files to global variables
  • SixTrackDocRFElements: convention for cavities, crab cavities and RF multipoles
• SixTrackSubRoutines: descriptions of the few relevant routines:
  • SixTrackSubdaten
  • SixTrackSubthck4d
  • SixTrackSubCollimat
  • SixTrackBeamBeam
  • SixTrackPrePostProcessing
  • SixTrackDifferentialAlgebra: (*FOX)
• SixTrackMinutes: minutes of meetings,
• SixTrackRoadMap: tentative plans.
• SixDesk: SixTrack running environment for LHC.
• SixDeskDB: SixDesk python sqlite port.
  • SixDeskReadPlotB
