1. PTC tracking - progress report (the first month experience) Valery KAPIN D.Sc., Kyoto Univ. ITEP, Moscow Relevant background: a) Fortran-77/90 programming (1980-present), no “C”- language; b) Beam dynamics coding for RFQ & DTL linacs (1982-2004); c) Beginning user for MAD-8 (2002-2003, NIRS, Japan);

2. Program for Work Package 2.2a “Thick Lattice Tracking” Requirements: 1)This module should have the same functionality as the thin tracking module in MAD-X (trrun.F => “makethin”) ; 2)It is based on PTC which treats all thick elements with symplectic integrators.

3. Steps for a code with thick lens tracking (Feb-Jun.2005) Prepare C-part (database) by FRS. Duplicate thin-lens code (trrun.F) and prepare tracking using PTC Debugging, examples and testing Documentation

4. Present status and nearest tasks Entering many particles (line-by-line) Put data into tables like “trrun.F” (the same output subroutines) Plotting phase-space diagrams for many particles Now - tracking over one turn Soon – tracking element-by-element with many observation points (“observe”)

10. Future plans (Workpackage III) Implementation of the following items (after completing the element-by-element tracking): 1)Synchrotron radiation & quantum excitation (emittance evolution, special model by F.Z.); 2)Beam-beam element; 3).................................................... 4)Direct Space-charge (like “AccSym-Orbit” codes); 5)Effects from electron cooler
