  The European Spallation Source will be the world's most powerful neutron source, once its construction is finished. In order to design, build and operate this complex machine many different software components and frameworks will be needed. One of those is Jupyterhub, a scripting environment for data analysis, scientific computing and physics simulations. Jupyterhub is a multiuser version of the IPython notebook (Jupyter) that can be deployed in a centralized server; It provides centralized authentication, centralized deployment, promotes collaboration and provides access to the most advanced libraries for data cleaning and transformation, simulation and statistics. At the Integrated Controls System Division a customized version of Jupyterhub was deployed, providing sandboxed environments to users using Docker containers. Among other characteristics of this installation we can find: clustering, load balancing, A/B testing, Amazon Web Services integration, nbviewer and OpenXAL integration.

  Real-time beam modeling has been used in accelerator diagnostics for several decades. Along the way, the theory for matrix calculations of linear forces has matured, allowing for fast calculations of a beam's momentum and position distributions. This formalism becomes complicated and ultimately breaks down with high-order beam elements like sextupoles. Such elements can be accurately modeled with a Lie-algebra approach, but these techniques are generally implemented in slower, offline multiparticle tracking software. Here, we demonstrate an adaptation of the conventional Lie techniques for rapid first-order tracking of position, which is accomplished by treating a bunch's particle count as an invariant.

Formed in 2010, the Open XAL accelerator physics software platform was developed through an international collaboration among several facilities to establish it as a standard for accelerator physics software. While active development continues, the project has now matured. This paper presents the current status of the project, a roadmap for continued development and an overview of the project status at each participating facility.

  The commissioning and operations planning for the European Spallation Source is currently being defined. It is foreseen that the ESS will begin to deliver beam on target by mid 2019, something which is urging a well structured and thought through plan both for commissioning and operations. In this paper we will discuss the plans for beam physics operational software, priorities and software services needed during the different stages of beam commissioning.

  The ESS Linac Simulator (ELS) is the model that will be used at the European Spallation Source ERIC in Lund, Sweden, to simulate the transport of the beam envelope during operations. On August 12th 2015, we had the opportunity to use two hours of beam time in the linac of the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge to benchmark ELS. In this paper we present the results of the transverse dynamics measurements. Such measurements are obtained upon kicking the beam in the medium-energy beam transport (MEBT) and measuring the effect of the oscillation of the beam centroid in 58 beam position monitors (BPMs). The ELS model and these measurements are in agreement with an average discrepancy of 4% in the superconducting section of the accelerator.

  The ESS Linac Simulator (ELS) is the model that will be used at the European Spallation Source ERIC in Lund, Sweden, to simulate the transport of the beam envelope for the operations. During the machine restart in August 2015 at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) in Oak Ridge, USA, we were able to perform the first benchmarking studies of the ELS. In this paper, we present the results of the phase-scans performed in four RF cavities of the coupled-cavity linac at SNS compared with the same scans simulated in the ELS. The phase of the cavity was modified while the phase of the beam was recorded in two BPMs downstream from the cavity. This measurement was repeated for four independent cavities and the results are compared here with the model, which favourably reproduces the BPM response to the cavity scans.
