SixTrack Documentation

• Racetrack Manual by A. Wrulich (PDF)

• SixTrack Manual by F. Schmidt (PDF) and in (HTML)

• The newest: SixTrack with beam-beam in full 6D coupling (PDF).

• The original six-dimensional formalism by G. Ripken (PDF)

• An extension of this formalism to allow for arbitrary energies by D.P. Barber, G. Ripken and F. Schmidt (PDF)
