DESCRIPTION OF CODES HOMDYN multi-envelope model based on the time dependent evolution of a uniform bunch. basic approximation: bunch represented by a uniformly charged cylinder whose length and radius vary keeping anyway uniform the charge distribution inside the bunch. algorithm very efficient and despite some strong simplifying assumptions it allows the quick relaxation of the large number of parameters involved in parameter studies, to quickly find a reasonably optimized configuration. BEAMPATH space charge potential calculated from the direct solution of Poisson's equation by cloud-in-cell method in a moving system of coordinates with Dirichlet boundary conditions at the aperture and periodic conditions in z-direction. Simulation of the beam with large energy spread is performed utilizing Green function method for interaction of particles with individual energies. PARMELA / ASTRA space charge force by Lorentz-transforming the particles position and field maps into the average rest frame of the beam. It then applies static forces to the various rings of the cylindrical map assuming a constant charge density inside a ring. This algorithm requires to have at least 5 particles in each of the cell of the cylindrical grid. PARMELA /SPCH3D fast Fourier Transform set on a 3D grid over which the electric field is solved to verify Poisson’s equation. time consuming : requires running at least 100k particles and small aspect ratios of the cell dimensions. to be used when the AR horizontal to vertical of the beam is more than 2 and when the transverse profile does not have a cylindrical symmetry. TREDI fully 3D Monte Carlo code devoted to the simulation of beam dynamics. Space charge fields computed with Lienard Wiechert formalism and taking into account the effects due to the finite propagation velocity of signals. This is accomplished by storing the histories of macro-particles, and by tracking back in time the source coordinates until a retarded condition is fulfilled. Short bunch injector simulations (as the test case) can be run also in a faster “Static” mode, where instantaneous signal propagation is assumed. The “Retarded” mode allows the simulation of a wider class of problems such as CSR effects in bendings.
