Issue with RADIATE in beam not triggering for protons
Hi,
As discussed saturday night in the CCC, I'm quite convinced there is an issue with the RADIATE
flag of the beam when not using electrons / leptons.
An easy way to reproduce:
- Run the
test/test_emit/test-emit.madx
and confirm beam attributes are changed, a U0 is calculated etc. - Run the same file by simply changing
electron
forproton
in the beam command, and observe nothing happens whenEMIT
is called.
This is the simplest reproduction I could come up with. Worth noting that one can also, say put an electron in the LHC (injection optics, bring down beam->pc
to maybe 5 though) and see that it works, but similarly for a proton beam nothing triggers.
No idea where the problem lies in the code however.
