Space Charge induced Trapping: aim of the code benchmarking

The aim of the code benchmarking is to confirm the space charge induced trapping of particles in a bunch during long term storage. Numerical investigation and experiment at the CERN-PS have been performed in 2002-2003 (see references) but no other code has been used to confirm the mechanism and to reproduce the measurements.

In order to make a code benchmarking we use the SIS18 lattice. An external sextupole is added in the linear lattice to create a 3rd order resonance.
