  Real-time beam modeling has been used in accelerator diagnostics for several decades. Along the way, the theory for matrix calculations of linear forces has matured, allowing for fast calculations of a beam's momentum and position distributions. This formalism becomes complicated and ultimately breaks down with high-order beam elements like sextupoles. Such elements can be accurately modeled with a Lie-algebra approach, but these techniques are generally implemented in slower, offline multiparticle tracking software. Here, we demonstrate an adaptation of the conventional Lie techniques for rapid first-order tracking of position, which is accomplished by treating a bunch's particle count as an invariant.
