mbtrack2

mbtrack2 is a coherent object-oriented framework written in python to work on collective effects in synchrotrons.

mbtrack2 is composed of different modules allowing to easily write scripts for single bunch or multi-bunch tracking using MPI parallelization in a transparent way. The base of the tracking model of mbtrack2 is inspired by mbtrack, a C multi-bunch tracking code initially developed at SOLEIL.

Installation

Clone the mbtrack2 repo and enter the repo:

git clone https://gitlab.synchrotron-soleil.fr/PA/collective-effects/mbtrack2.git
cd mbtrack2

Using conda

To create a new conda environment for mbtrack2 run:

conda env create -f mbtrack2.yml
conda activate mbtrack2

Or to update your current conda environment to be able to run mbtrack2:

conda env update --file mbtrack2.yml

To test your installation run:

from mbtrack2 import *

Using pip

Run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To test your installation run:

from mbtrack2 import *

Examples

Jupyter notebooks demonstrating mbtrack2 features are available in the example folder and can be opened online using google colab:

• mbtrack2 base features
• dealing with RF cavities and longitudinal beam dynamics
