W150 Transport, Second-Order Beam Optics

TRSPRT is a first- and second-order matrix multiplication program for the design of magnetic beam transport systems. It has been in use in various versions since 1963. The present version, written by D.C. Carey at FNAL and extensively modified at CERN is described in CERN 80-04, NAL 91 and SLAC 91. It includes both first- and second-order fitting capabilities. A beam line is described as a sequence of elements. Such elements may represent magnets or the intervals separating them, but also specify calculations to be done, or special conditions to be applied. The program works in six-dimensional phase space $(x,x\text{'},y,y\text{'},l,dp/p)$ ; it is therefore also capable of calculating coupling between planes.
