MOPR029 | On the Impact of Non-Symplecticity of Space Charge Solvers | 146 |

Funding: German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) To guarantee long-term reliability in the predictions of a numerical integrator, it is a well-known requirement that the underlying map has to be symplectic. It is therefore important to examine in detail the impact on emittance growth and noise generation in case this condition is violated. We present a strategy of how to tackle this question and some results obtained for particular PIC and frozen space charge models. |

At CERN we have ramped up a program to investigate space charge effects in the LHC pre-injectors with high brightness beams and long storage times. This in view of the LIU upgrade project for these accelerators. These studies require massive simulation over large number of turns. To this end we have been looking at all available codes and started collaborations on code development with several laboratories: pyORBIT from SNS, SYNERGIA from Fermilab, MICROMAP from GSI and our in-house MAD-X code with an space charge upgrade. We have agreed with our collaborators to bench-mark all these codes in the framework of the GSI bench-marking suite, in particular the main types of frozen space charge and PIC codes are being tested. We also include a study on the subclass of purely frozen and the adaptive frozen modes both part of MAD-X in comparison with the purely frozen MICROMAP code. Last, we will report on CERN's code development effort to understand and eventually overcome the noise issue in PIC codes.
