Dynamic Kicks (DYNK input block)

NOTE THAT THE DYNK BLOCK AS DESCRIBED HERE IS NOT YET AVAILABLE IN THE STANDARD SIXTRACK DISTRIBUTION

This repository contains the code adding the functionality of dynamic kicks to SixTrack.

The DYNK block allows the user to modify the original attributes of the elements of the lattice of the accelerator, per turn, with a user defined function.

• The function is defined by the user in the fort.3 input file, inside the DYNK block, via the FUN flag.
• The element's attribute to be changed (and the turns when this is applicable) is defined by the user in the fort.3 input file, inside the DYNK block, via the SET flag.

Multiple FUN functions can be defined. They may also depend on the functions defined above them in the DYNK block. Similarly, multiple SET may be defined for multiple element/attribute combinations, and for the same element/attribute given that they are not active on the same turns.

For more information about the syntax and how to use it visit the SixTrack Twiki.
