Simulation of Longitudinal Beam Dynamics Problems

31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre (CERN)

Description

What are typical beam dynamics issues in synchrotrons and why do we need numerical models to make predictions? How close can our model get to real machines and can we make end-to-end simulations for an accelerator complex such as the CERN one? What are the approximations built in the numerical model and what are the associated numerical challenges and limitations? These and further questions will be addressed in a series of two lectures. The lectures aim at giving an overview of basic beam dynamics concepts and numerical methods of modelling these.
