  Space charge models typically assume instantaneous propagation of the electromagnetic fields between particles in a bunch, describing forces in the frame of the reference particle. In this paper, we construct a space-charge tracking code from the retarded Liénard-Wiechert potentials, which are covariant by design, in a Lagrangian formulation. Such potentials are manipulated with covariant derivatives to produce the necessary equations of motion that will be solved in a test system of two particles at various relative energies. Magnetic dipole moment dynamics are also evaluated where applicable.

  For many applications, it is necessary to track particles using field maps, instead of an analytic representation of the fields which is typically not available. These field maps come about while designing elements such as realistic magnets or radiofrequency cavities, and represent the field geometry on a mesh in space. However, simple interpolation of the fields from the field maps does not guarantee that the resulting tracking scheme satisfies the symplectic condition. Here we present a general method to decompose the field-map potential in the sum of interpolating functions that produces, by construction, a symplectic integrator.

  The Open XAL accelerator physics software platform is being developed through international collaboration among several facilities since 2010. The goal of the collaboration is to establish Open XAL as a multi-purpose software platform supporting a broad range of tool and application development in accelerator physics and high-level control (Open XAL also ships with a suite of general-purpose accelerator applications). This paper discusses progress in beam dynamics simulation, new RF models, and updated application framework along with new generic accelerator physics applications. We present the current status of the project, a roadmap for continued development, and an overview of the project status at each participating facility.
