MOPLS001	Large Scale Beam-beam Simulations for the CERN LHC using Distributed Computing	526
	W. Herr, E. McIntosh, F. Schmidt CERN, Geneva D. Kaltchev TRIUMF, Vancouver
	We report on a large scale simulation of beam-beam effects for the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The stability of particles which experience head-on and long-range beam-beam effects was investigated for different optical configurations and machine imperfections. To cover the interesting parameter space required computing resources not available at CERN. The necessary resources were available in the LHC@home project, based on the BOINC platform. At present, this project makes more than 40000 hosts available for distributed computing. We shall discuss our experience using this system during a simulation campaign of more than six months and describe the tools and procedures necessary to ensure consistent results. The results from this extended study are presented and future plans are discussed.
WEPCH067	Implementation of TPSA in the Mathematica Code LieMath	2077
	D. Kaltchev TRIUMF, Vancouver
	The Lie Algebra package LieMath written in the Mathematica language constructs the beamline map in a single-exponent Lie generator form. The algorithm (BCH-based map concatenation) has been recently enhanced with Truncated Power Series Algebra (TPSA) techniques.The polynomials produced by the series expansion of the Hamiltonian are replaced with arrays of coefficients (derivative structures) and the Poisson bracket and BCH are defined as operations on such structures. We have confirmed the statement that using automatic differentiation instead of symbolic operations increases the speed by least an order of magnitude. The code is equipped with a MAD parser and a normal form block allowing it to extract nonlinear chromaticity and amplitude detuning. The notebook was applied in FFAG studies and may be useful for the linear collider final focus or collimation systems.

	In the framework of the CARE HHH European Network, we have developed a web-based dynamic accelerator-physics code repository. We describe the design, structure and contents of this web repository, illustrate its usage, and discuss our future plans.
