Imperfections and corrections
arXiv:2006.10661
Abstract
The measurement and correction of optics parameters has been a major concern since the advent of strong focusing synchrotron accelerators. A review of typical imperfections in accelerator optics together with measurement and correction algorithms is given with emphasis on numerical implementations. Python examples are shown using existing libraries when possible.
