Serpentine -- A Python-based Charged Particle Tracker

The goal of this project is to build a charged particle tracker somewhat similar in capability to Lucretia. Despite its similarities, this will not simply be a rewrite of that code, and will include several features that make it stand out from the crowd:

Planned Capabilities

The following is a (perhaps incomplete) list of the capabilities that are planned for this code. The list is divided into two (the "Basics", and "Add-ons") in order to suggest the priorities of this project.

The Basics:

  1. Tracking
  2. Transport matrices (linear & non-linear)
    • Easy calculation of the linear R matrices for a single element (calculated on construction of the beamline element), and for a series of elements.
Changed:

    • Calculation of the appropriate higher-order matrices for any elements requiring them. Limited to 4th order.

  1. Twiss parameters.
    • Propagation of the Twiss parameters (alpha, beta, phase, dispersion, dispersion_prime, and the sigma matrix) through a system of elements.
  2. Multi-species
