Description
The Trackcpp application, developed by the Accelerator Physics Group at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory, models synchrotron accelerators and beam transport lines to perform six-dimensional particle tracking and optics calculations. The path length, one of the coordinates, measures the difference between a particle's arrival time, in units of length, and the accelerator cumulative length. This variable is therefore fundamental for describing the interaction of radio-frequency cavities and particles. However, the current implementation leads to limitations when simulating the longitudinal motion in accelerators that operate with non-nominal rf-frequency. This work proposes a modification to the path length variable that enables accurate longitudinal tracking at arbitrary rf-frequencies.
