Bmad manual (Revised: July 13, 2025)

Introduction and Tutorial to Bmad and Tao

The Introduction to Bmad and Tao tutorial focuses exclusively on teaching how to use Tao. But concepts covered in this tutorial, like how to construct lattice files and how to setup beam tracking, can be applied to other Bmad based programs.

Ring Design Tutorial

The ring design tutorial, like the Bmad and Tao tutorial above, introduces the reader to Bmad with a focus on teaching how Bmad based programs can be used to design a colliding beam storage ring. While the emphasis here is on using Tao, other programs are introduced.
