Recent Improvements to the ASTRA Particle Tracking Code
نویسنده
چکیده
The Astra simulation code has been successfully used in the design of linac and rf photoinjector systems utilizing beams with azimuthal symmetry. We present recently implemented changes to Astra that allow tracking of beams in beamlines without the assumption of any symmetry. The changes especially include a 3D mesh space charge algorithm and the possibility to import 3D electromagnetic field maps from eigensolver programs.

3d Space Charge Calculations for Bunches in the Tracking Code Astra∗
Precise and fast 3D space charge calculations for bunches of charged particles are of growing importance in recent accelerator designs. One of the possible approaches is the particle-mesh method computing the potential of the bunch in the rest frame by means of Poisson’s equation. Fast methods for solving Poisson’s equation are the direct solution applying Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) and ...

Precise and fast 3D space-charge calculations for bunches of charged particles are of growing importance in recent accelerator designs. One of the possible approaches is the particle mesh method, computing the potential of the bunch in the rest frame by means of Poisson’s equation. In this, the charges of the macro particles representing the distribution of the particles of the whole bunch are ...
متن کاملIntegrated Modeling of the TESLA X-ray FEL
The TESLA linear collider incorporates an X-ray SASE FEL which demands challenging electron beam parameters (typically transverse emittance of 1.6 mm-mrd and peak current of 5 kA). For a realistic electron beam distribution at the entrance of the undulator, tracking has to be done from the cathode through the whole accelerator. Non-Gaussian beam profiles have to be taken into account as well as...

متن کاملPhase Space Tomography Using the Cornell Erl Dc Gun
The brightness and quality of electron beams in linacbased light sources are ultimately limited by the properties of the beam in the injector. It is thus important to have knowledge of the phase space distribution in addition to the rms emittance to provide an insight into high beam brightness formation mechanisms. A tomography technique has been used to reconstruct the transverse phase space o...
