THYM01 Simulation of Beam-beam Effects and Tevatron Experience 2937

    Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois
 
  Simulations of beam-beam effects in the Tevatron correctly describe reality, have predictive power and have been used to support a change in the Tevatron working point to near the half integer. The simulation models and tools are discussed, and comparisons made with observations and measurements.

THYM02 Incoherent Effects of Space Charge and Electron Cloud 2942

  Trapping in, or scattering off, resonances driven by space charge or electron cloud in conjunction with synchrotron motion can explain numerous observations of slow beam loss and emittance growth, which are often accompanied by changes in the longitudinal beam profile. This talk will review recent progress in understanding and modelling the underlying mechanisms, highlight the differences and similarities between space charge and electron cloud, and discuss simulation results in the light of experimental observations, e.g., at GSI, CERN and BNL.

THYM03 Advanced Computing Tools and Models for Accelerator Physics 2947
 
  • R. D. Ryne

  The design of the next generation of accelerators will require a new level of simulation capability to perform high resolution, multi-physics modelling of beam dynamics phenomena and to design complex 3D electromagnetic structures. Thanks to the availability of computational resources that will soon reach the petascale, we will be able to perform simulations involving unprecedented size, complexity, and physical realism. This paper will review the state-of-the-art in scientific computing for accelerator physics.
