1. Single-bunch instability preliminary studies ongoing.
Cmad simulation code status
Tracking the beam in a MAD lattice, parallel code, interaction with cloud at each element in the ring and with different cloud distribution, single-bunch instability studies, threshold for SEY, dynamic aperture tune shift …
Single-bunch instability preliminary studies ongoing.
Electron cloud build-up (SEY, vacuum chamber, etc.) to be added.
ILC DR
ILC DR bunch at injection as input
ILC DR lattice MAD to track beam with an electron cloud at each element location.
Electron cloud distribution in bends and straights (so far from POSINST)

2. Goals
simulate electron cloud instability threshold in the LC DRs, LHC, SPS and storage rings
Status
Benchmarked against codes at CERN web page. Good agreement with existing codes (HEAD-TAIL “new simulation results 2006”) for 1 interaction point/turn. Ongoing SPS and ILC DR simulations and code benchmarking.
Beta version, still good room to gain in speed: Electric fields calculation to be upgraded, parallel features to be optimized

3. Dynamics Beam and electron cloud Dynamics:
MAD sectormap and optics functions files as input
Tracking 1 bunch in the lattice by 1st (switch for 2nd) order transport maps R (and T)
Particle in cell PIC code
Tracking 6D beam phase space, 3D beam dynamics
3D electron cloud dynamics
Apply beam-cloud interaction at each element of MAD lattice
2D forces beam-cloud, cloud-cloud computed at interaction point
Electron dynamics: cloud pinching and magnetic fields included

4. Code benchmarking CMAD with Head-Tail code “new simulation results 2006” on web page. 1 interaction point/turn. CMAD with 32 processors in this simulation on seaborg/nersc IBM6000.

7. SPS simplified model
Emittance growth simulated with TAILHEAD considering a single electron-beam interaction point at the center of each half cell (left) and with two interaction points, close to the QD and QFF quadrupoles (right). The electron cloud responds either dynamically, or it is frozen. The electron density is 2.75e11 m-3 for the left picture and either 1e11 m-3 or 2e11 m-3 on the right. SPS simplified model.

8. SPS simplified model
Emittance growth simulated with CMAD considering a single electron-beam interaction point at the center of each half cell (left) frozen potential after first interaction . The electron density is 2.5e11 m-3 to 7.5e11 m-3. SPS simplified model.

9. Improvements:
Electric field computation is actually a direct node to node (slow) computation and interpolation – Room for improvement here…!
Actually looking into Multigrid parallel like PHAML

11. Actually looking into Multigrid Poisson parallel solver like PHAML

Suggestions for improvement?!
Parallel improvement:
Actually computing beam-cloud interaction with all processors for each ring element
Next: assign a ring section of N elements to N processors to each compute beam-cloud interaction, then track the beam through the N elements (assume weak beam changes)

12. Discussion, ideas, suggestions
Approximations to be added:
Optional: If beta functions are identical at two elements in phase (2*pi*n), apply earlier computed cloud-potential
Approximations [Longer term!] to be added:
Build-up of the electron cloud initially computed until saturation for each representative of magnet class and density distributed over the ring; Then updated at each turn (assuming weak changes of the beam turn by turn)..
Improvements [to be added?!]:
Symplectic integrators tracking: needed ? (but ~98% phase space conserved with R and T tracking, ILCdr 1000 turns)
