Zgoubi is a raytracing code.
Since 1972 it pushes charged particles through accelerators and beam lines, by stepwise solution of Lorentz force equation - and their spins via Thomas-BMT differential equation.
Zgoubi simulates beam dynamics and polarization in a variety of accelerators (storage ring, synchrotron, cyclotron, betatron, microtron, FFAG, multi-pass ERL, etc) and optical systems (beam lines, magnetic and electrostatic optical components, time-of-flight and mass spectrometers, etc).
The code includes built-in fitting procedures with a wide variety of constraints; stochastic SR energy loss; the tracking of synchrotron radiation (SR) Poynting vector; space charge models; various Monte Carlo procedures, etc.

Features
- Besides the 'Download' button above, a development version of zgoubi package (source code, Users' Guide, zpop post-treatment companion, etc.), subject to frequent updates by its developpers, can be downloaded via 'Code' in the toolbar, 'trunk' folder, 'Download Snapshot'.
- Via 'Code'' in the toolbar, branches/exemples folder can be accessed. It contains many up and running input data files, and their listing and/or graphic outcomes, amongst which the LHC; polarization with snakes at RHIC; FFAG designs including KUNST rings; serpentine acceleration in EMMA; CBETA ERL; polarization in EIC electron rings; Cornell RCS; CEBAF RLA; PSI cyclotron; muon decay rings; tutorials, etc.
- Via 'Code'' in the toolbar, branches/publications folder can be accessed. It contains many laboratory Tech Notes and other open access articles, which detail design studies and beam simulations using zgoubi. This publication folder is intended as a source of guidance for zgoubi users and developers.
