Abstract :
The code MARYLIE 3.0, a Fortran program for charged particle beam transport based on Lie algebraic methods, is expected to be available for general use in the near future. MARYLIE 3.0 is a program for the computation, manipulation, analysis, and application (ray tracing) of transfer maps. It can be used for beam transport systems and for circular machines. The full six-dimensional phase space is treated exactly (including fringe field and small machine effects) through third (octupole) order. When used for ray tracing, it can be orders of magnitude faster than kick codes. When used for analysis, it can compute all third-order effects including aberrations, first- and second-order chromaticities, anharmonicities, distortion functions, nonlinear invariants, nonlinear resonance widths, normal forms, and KAM tori. It has extensive fitting and optimization capabilities. There are many other features, such as the ability to transform particle distributions, transport moments, compute emittance invariants, and find dynamic apertures. Over 100 built-in beamline elements and commands are available, and it is possible to add user-specified elements and commands. Program organization, program performance, auxiliary programs, and simple and advanced commands for MARYLIE 3.0 are described
