BLonD meeting minutes 10/11/2017

  • Helga news from pyheadtail
    • They added some nice swan examples
    • We don't really have the capacity to do it now
  • Helga on news from last time
    • Be careful not to break existing work
    • We have to pull first from the admin github
    • Do not add changes directly to the admin, but follow the pull request
    • Correct ways to compare with true/false
      • best is the if boolean_var, or if not boolean_var
      • the if not (none variable) will be true
      • be reasonable with pep8 corrections
    • Proposing a joint publication for PRSTAB
      • Helga will create a shared latex file with overleaf
  • Danilo cleaned-up all the examples
    • they agree with the master branch
    • Added a runtime error in input_parameters, preprocess works only for single section
  • Alex: Danilo and Ivan should work on input checking and preprocess
  • Alex made a list of all the various inputs, need to move it in the documentation
  • AP Alex, Danilo and Ivan sit down and discuss
  • Joel added an issue in github
    • “is” checks if the 2 objects are same, not value
    • We can close the issue
  • From last Ivan's presentation:
    • Bunch generation for short bunches
    • Alex=> better interpolation scheme should be implemented, or rescaling the size of the problem
  • Helga we need a detailed user manual
  • Simon presentation for PSB and LEIR
    • Simulations for various B, fixed rf frequency
    • Mainly discussion about physics
    • Should the omega_rf that is passed as an input to the rf_params object compute directly the phi_RF program ? => Yes
    • Addition of a delta_omega_rf option in preprocess RF that would be on top. Make sure that the dphi program is consistent.
  • Konstantinos quick overview of the bmath module
    • Centralization of math functions in a blond math module to be extended
