Realistic PSB simulation in Xsuite.

For corrections & suggestions contact: [email protected]

With inputs from F. Asvesta, H. Bartosik, G. Iadarola, K. Paraschou.

Simulation is split in two parts:

1. Part I: preparing the simulation

   • Generate the desired lattice and particle distribution (set tune, injection bump, foil scattering, acceleration, imperfections, time-functions, emittances, bunch shape, …).​
   • Inputs are given by simulation_parameters.py.
   • Execution:

      $ . 000_prepare_simulation.sh
     

   • Outputs stored in psb/ and input/.
   • Runs locally on CPU.

2. Part II: tracking

   • Track and save beam state (space charge algorithms, multi-turn injection, …).​
   • Inputs are given by simulation_parameters.py.
   • Execution:

      $ python -m runPSB.py
     

   • Outputs stored in output/.
   • Runs locally or on HTCondor, in CPU or GPU.
   • Run on HTCondor using GPUs with:

     $ condor_submit htcondor_submission_gpu.sub
