Accelerator Modeling with MATLAB Accelerator Toolbox

This paper introduces Accelerator Toolbox (AT) a collection of tools to model storage rings and beam transport lines in the MATLAB environment. The objective is to illustrate the flexibility and efficiency of the AT–MATLAB framework. The paper discusses three examples of problems that are analyzed frequently in connection with ring-based synchrotron light sources. 1 BACKGROUND AT is being devel...

Computerized Ionospheric Tomography

ith the transition to the Global Positioning System, Transit has been decommissioned, after having served well for the Fleet. A new system, the Navy Ionospheric Monitoring System, was established using Transit satellites. This article examines the application of the new system to the field of computerized ionospheric tomography. (

Mesoscale Ionospheric Prediction

The long-term goals of this project are to first develop a three-dimensional time-evolving non-linear numerical model of the mesoscale ionosphere, second to couple the mesoscale model to a mesoscale data assimilative analysis, third to use the new data-assimilative mesoscale model to investigate ionospheric structure and plasma instabilities, and fourth to apply the data-assimilative mesoscale ...

Ionospheric Correction Using Tomography

The most demanding application of wide area di erential corrections to GPS is vertical positioning of aircraft on precision approach. Here the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) combines accuracy requirements on the order of ones of meters with safety of life integrity requirements which specify that any vertical position errors greater than the Vertical Protection Limit be enunciated to the ...
