A FLIGHT SIMULATOR FOR ATF2 - A MECHANISM FOR INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION IN THE WRITING AND DEPLOYMENT OF ONLINE BEAM DYNAMICS ALGORITHNS

摘要

The goals of ATF2 are to test a novel compact final focus optics design with local chromaticity correction intended for use in future linear colliders. The newly designed extraction line and final focus system will be used to produce a 37nm vertical waist from an extracted beam from the ATF ring of ～30nm vertical normalised emittance, and to stabilise it at the IP-waist to the ～2nm level. Static and dynamic tolerances on all accelerator components are very tight; the achievement of the ATF2 goals is reliant on the application of multiple high-level beam dynamics control algorithms to aligh and tune the electron beam in the extraction line and final focus system. Much algorithmic development work has been done in Japan and by colleagues in collaborating nations in North America and Europe. We describe here development for the shared development and implementation of beam dynamics code. This software exists as a 'middle-layer' between the lower-level control systems (EPICS and V-SYSTEM) and the multiple higher-level beam dynamics modeling tools in use by the three-regions (SAD, Lucretia, PLACET, MAD...).
