A large amount of supercomputer CPU time has been used for tracking particles in the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) using a vectorized, multi-tasked post-Teapot tracking program called Ztrack.'' Typically, hundreds of particles with appropriate initial displacements (relative to the closed orbits) are tracked for a hundred thousand turns. One then simply makes a survival plot (turn at which particle is lost versus initial displacements) to determine the dynamic aperture. Occasionally, particles are tracked to a million turns for very selective cases. These numerical studies aid in determining the best aperture for the SSC. 6 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
