Description
This lecture will go through different numerical approximations and resulting limitations used frequently in longitudinal beam dynamics simulations. Computational challenges of multi-bunch simulations with intensity effects will be addressed in detail.
Targeted audience: Computer scientists, engineers, and physicists interested in accelerator physics
Benefits of attending the lecture: By the end of the lecture, you will have an overview of the main limitations and challenges faced in longitudinal beam dynamics simulations of synchrotrons.
Prerequisites: Basics in beam dynamics and/or having followed Lecture 1
