Abstract Currently there is substantial interest in making precision measurements utilizing storage rings. For example, the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab and the Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) program of the JEDI Collaboration require measurements of sub-ppm precision. A set of benchmarks has been proposed* to test the accuracy of codes used for tracking orbital and spin dynamics through storage rings. These benchmarks have been implemented by our group at Michigan State University, and used to test a variety of popular codes. In addition, we track actual lattices, namely the E989 storage ring and the COSY-Jülich ring at Forschungzentrum Jülich, and compare the results. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss our findings.
