    AB/ABP ACCELERATOR PHYSICS GROUP: Second MAD-X Day

    → Europe/Zurich
    AB Auditorium Meyrin (CERN)

    AB Auditorium Meyrin

    CERN
    Description
    It is three years by now that the LHC design team is successfully using MAD-X instead of the frozen MAD-8 code. The most important of these extensions is the interface to PTC the Polymorphic Tracking Code of E. Forest. The most important features of MAD-X are:



    • Program Development via part-time custodian and large team of part-time module keepers in- and outside of CERN

    • Languages: C, Fortran77, and Fortran90

    • Dynamic Memory Allocation: In the Core Program written in C

    • Strictly modular organization

    • Modified and extended input language

    • Symplectic and arbitrary exact description of all elements via PTC

    • Taylor Maps and Normal Form techniques using PTC



    The goal of this Second MAD-X Day can be summarized as follows:



    • MAD-X status: It is the design tool of the LHC

    • MAD-X - PTC Integration: What is still needed?

    • What is MAD-X missing compared to MAD8? Who will do the job?

    • How to best serve the Non-LHC community with MAD-X.



    Agenda:



    • MAD-X Status

    • Experience with MAD-X for LHC lattices

    • PTC - Presence and Future

    • PTC Modules in MAD-X

    • Progress of the Thin-lens Tracking Module

    • HESR at FAIR

    • IBS in MAD-X

    • The Touschek Module

    • Plans for MAD-X in UAL/SXF

    • Open Discussion Session
