Welcome to AT’s documentation!#
Accelerator Toolbox is a code used for simulating particle accelerators, used particularly for synchrotron light sources. It is hosted on Github. Its original implementation is in Matlab.
pyAT is a Python interface to Accelerator Toolbox. It uses the ‘pass methods’ defined in Accelerator Toolbox, implemented by compiling the C code used in the AT ‘integrators’ into a Python extension. These pass methods are used by higher-level functions to provide physics results.
