Investigation of Numerical Precision Issues of Long Term Single Particle Tracking

Long-term single particle simplectic tracking is one of the most reliable tool to study the dynamic aperture of the circular accelerators. The present computational resources allow studying the long-term behaviour for an extended number of turns. In this paper we explore the possibility that artefac...

Sumario:Long-term single particle simplectic tracking is one of the most reliable tool to study the dynamic aperture of the circular accelerators. The present computational resources allow studying the long-term behaviour for an extended number of turns. In this paper we explore the possibility that artefacts of the double precision arithmetic may be visible when the number of turns is in the order of 106 to 107.
