Linear Optics Computations
arXiv:2006.14340
Abstract
In this Chapter we briefly recall and summarize the main linear optics concepts of the accelerators beam dynamics theory. In doing so we put our emphasis on the related computational aspects: the reader will be provided with the basic elements to write a linear optics code. To this aim, we complement the text with few practical examples and code listings.
