A zgoubi workshop - actually, more of a "zgoubi tutorial" - was organized in Boulder, CO, last August (https://zgoubi-workshop.com/), latest one in a long series which started in the early 2000s with the re-birth of FFAG science and happened to cover EMMA at Daresbury, FFAG schools, CBETA prototyping today, etc. The Boulder workshop gathered 20 attendees, who bent and sweat during four days...
After a general introduction of OPAL, I will introduce a set of new features available with version 2.0 [1]. All new features will be presented together with examples of ongoing research projects. In the OPAL-cyc flavour, a robust way of generating matched distributions with linear space charge is introduced. A new method for describing fixed field accelerators (FFAs) in a very general way...
Precise accelerator simulations are powerful tools in the design and optimization of exiting and new charged particle accelerators. We all know from experience, the computational burden of precise simulations often limits their use in practice. This becomes a real hurdle when requiring real time computation. I will demonstrate two techniques, based on Polynomial Chaos Expansion [1] and Deep...
