Accelerator physics software

Xsuite is built on the experience of several pre-existing software packages (a great deal could be learnt from documentation, examples and source code). These include:

  • BMAD

  • COMBI

  • ELEGANT

  • GUINEA-PIG

  • HEADTAIL

  • MAD-NG

  • MAD-X

  • Sixtrack

  • Sixtracklib

  • PLACET

  • PyAT

  • PyHEADTAIL

  • PyWIT

  • PyPIC

  • PySSD

  • PTC
