Analysis wish list¶

What we have currently:

• xboa tool - calculates emittance, beta functions, single particle amplitudes from monte carlo data; some ROOT interfaces
• Optics tool - numerically calculates transfer matrix based on particle tracking; propagates beam ellipses and single particles through the matrices

Basic analysis steps for e.g. Step IV:

• Test field alignment/scale
  • Use single particle data, some Kalman filter to move/rescale field maps and find best fit?
• Test lattice optics
  • Optical properties (beta function, etc)
  • Acceptance, dependence on lattice properties
  • Resonance structure
• Test material physics model
  • Multiple scattering, energy loss distributions, compare with MC
• Measure emittance change
  • Calculate emittance, calculate particle amplitude, plot emittance in vs emittance out, plot amplitude in vs amplitude out

Infrastructure

• Defined global reconstruction output format and IO routines to xboa
• Python interface to optics tools
• xboa interface to optics tools

Other analysis tools

• Optics GUI for interactive selection and display of theoretical beam envelopes (etc) #847
