Synchrotron radiation
SAD can track particles with synchrotron radiation. In this case, each magnet is split into several slices. Inside the slice, a particle obeys symplectic map and at each border of slices it loses momenta/energy randomly depending on the magnetic field felt by the particle. The random number is made according to the classical
radiation spectrum[4,5].
6D full-symplectic tracking
All maps in SAD is symplectic, except for radiation related maps. Even with the presence of radiation, the map from the Hamiltonian nature should be symplectic, because nobody has established a theorem on how much the map should be symplectic in the presence of radiation. Those who can stand with non-symplectic maps are not welcome to SAD (and to KEK).
Dynamic aperture survey[3]
key words:
Symplecticity
A (nonlinear) map $x\rightarrow f(x)$ is called symplectic when the Jacobi matrix
$M_{ij}\equiv\partial f_i/\partial x_j$ satisfies $MJM^t=J$. Here, $x_i$ stands for six
canonical variables $(x,p_x,y,p_y,z,p_z)$ and
J={{0,1,0,0,0,0},
{-1,0,0,0,0,0},
{0,0,0,1,0,0},
{0,0,-1,0,0,0},
{0,0,0,0,0,1},
{0,0,0,0,-1,0}}.
Frequently, one might misunderstand that M is symplectic if det(M)=1. This is true only for dynamics in one degree of freedom. But, it is true that det M=1 when M is symplectic[1].
A sufficient condition for M be symplectic is that there are finite number of functions
$g_1(x),g_2(x),\cdots,g_n(x)$ and $f(x)$ can de writtens in a form
$\exp:g_1: \exp:g_2: \cdots \exp:g_n:$
where $:g:$ is the Lie transformation[2].
Lie Transformation[2]
Let F(x) be any function of the canonical variables x. The Lie transformation is defined by
\[ \exp:F:x=x+[F,x]+1/2[F,[F,x]]+\cdots, \]
where [f,g] is the Poisson bracket.
This is symplectic automatically. But if you trancate the expansion at a finite order, it looses
the symplcticity.
Dynamic aperture[3]
It is one of the most fundamental and important objects in beam dynamics. However, nobody has succeeded to derivce the dynamic aperture from a given Hamiltonian. Even, it seems that there is no good constructive definition of the dynamic aperture.
