BBU/Collimation Meeting, 3rd July 2007

R34 calculated directly in MAD is very large, about 700 m, therefore threshold is very small.
However, calculation of R34 from the betas and phase advance gives a more sensible value of about 17 m (threshold of about 10 mA). But of course, these numbers should be the same.

Perhaps there is a bug in both MAD and MLC in the calculation of the vertical dispersion, such that errors could be propagated and grow. Need to check this!!!
