- quadrupoles — List of names of quadrupoles to be used. Several names may be given and the
names may include wildcards. If so, then quadrupoles in each group are changed by the same
amount for each iteration. This would typically be used when the quadrupoles are nominally
identical (though perhaps differing in strength because of introduced errors). If that’s not the
case, the iteration may fail to converge
- exclude — List of names of elements to exclude. This may be used to exclude some
quadrupoles that are matched by wildcards in the quadrupoles list.
- dK1_weight — Weighting factor that is used to minimize the mean-square changes in K1
values in the event that there are more than two families.
- tune_x, tune_y — Desired x and y tune values. If not given, the desired values are assumed
to be the unperturbed tunes.
- n_iterations — The number of iterations of the correction to perform.
- correction_fraction — The fraction of the correction to apply at each iteration.
- tolerance — When both tunes are within this value of the desired tunes, the iteration is
stopped.
- step_up_interval — Interval between increases in the correction fraction.
- max_correction_fraction — Maximum correction fraction to allow.
- delta_correction_fraction — Change in correction fraction after each step_up_interval
steps.
- update_orbit — If non-zero, the orbit calculation is updated after each nth adjustment of
the quadupoles.
- strength_log — The (incomplete) name of a SDDS file to which the quadrupole strengths
will be written as correction proceeds. Recommended value: “%s.qst”.
- change_defined_values — Changes the defined values of the quadrupole strengths. This
means that when the lattice is saved (using save_lattice), the quadrupoles will have the
corrected values. This would be used for correcting the tunes of a design lattice, for example,
but not for correcting tunes of a perturbed lattice.
- use_perturbed_matrix — If nonzero, requests use of the perturbed correction matrix in
performing correction. For difficult lattices with large errors, this may be necessary to obtain
correction. In general, it is not necessary and only slows the simulation.
