Many good tracking tools are available for simulations for linear accelerators. However, several simple tasks need to be performed repeatedly, like lattice definitions, beam setup, output storage, etc. In addition, complex simulations can become unmanageable quite easily. A high level layer would therefore be beneficial. We propose LinSim, a linear accelerator framework with the codes PLACET an...

Motivation Across biology we are seeing rapid developments in scale of data production without a corresponding increase in data analysis capabilities. Results Here, we present Aether (http://aether.kosticlab.org), an intuitive, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and scalable framework that uses linear programming (LP) to optimally bid on and deploy combinations of underutilized cloud computing reso...

Linear Colliders require high gradient (to reduce length dependent costs), high shunt impedance (to reduce power dependent costs) accelerator structures in which the long range dipole wakefields have been reduced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude. The precise dipole wake reduction factor required depends on many factors. These include the beam intensity and time structure, the accelerator aperture ...

The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a 200–500GeV center-of-mass highluminosity linear electron-positron collider, based on 1.3 GHz superconducting accelerating technology (SCRF). The colliding experiment of electron-positron will provide enormous data of the high energy physics, for example, the nature of Higgs particle, not-found particles like super-symmetric particles, and proof of un...

Wakefield acceleration in dielectric loaded structures is discussed in this paper. We present a description of the dielectric wakefield accelerator concept, comparing some features of the collinear and the two beam accelerator configurations. The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA) is discussed in detail, including major upgrades that are presently taking place. The basic features and ...

The final focus system for a 5 TeV collider may be greatly shortened, from 40 km to 0.1-1 km, provided chromatic correction is abandoned, and replaced with ultra-low energy spread of 10%. A conventional singlefrequency linac cannot produce bunches of the requisite length and charge, with an energy spread this small. In this note we elaborate on previous discussion of harmonic acceleration for t...
