Dear  Dr. Friederich,

thank you for your reply. The radius of the Cyclotron which I simulated is about 0.45m. I drew max_x,_y and_s vs Energy (it is in attachment), it seems max_x,_y and_s present the location of the beam in the Global coordinate of the cyclotron (not the total beam size with respect to the reference particle). It would be appreciated if you could help me in this way.

Thank you for your time

Best regards

Zahra

Dear Zahra,

Concerning the total beam size:
The max_x, max_y and max_s values from the .stat file inherit the total
beam size.

Best regards

Simon
