Xsuite is a Python toolkit for modelling and simulation of particle accelerators, which has been developed at CERN together with collaborators from other institutes over the past four years. The code has reached a mature development stage and has become the workhorse for several studies and applications, allowing the gradual replacement of legacy tools like Sixtrack, COMBI, PyHEADTAIL. This...
The auto differentiable simulation is a type of simulation that outputs of the simulation contain not only the simulation result itself, but also its derivatives with respect to many input parameters. It provides an efficient method to study the sensitivity of the simulation result with respect to the input parameters and can be used in some gradient based optimization methods for fast...
Round beam operation offers significant benefits for synchrotron radiation experiments and reduces intra-beam scattering effects in diffraction-limited light sources. This paper proposes a method for round beam generation based on global skew quadrupole settings and the application of the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA). Two coupling schemes, large emittance coupling via...
