Description
The Python-based Beam Longitudinal Dynamics (BLonD) simulation suite is an open-source framework for modelling the motion of charged particles in circular accelerators. BLonD has been in use since 2014 and is utilised successfully at several accelerator facilities such as J-PARC, ISIS, and CERN. Furthermore, BLonD is applied for the design of new synchrotrons such as the Future Circular Collider (FCC) and the Muon Collider. Both projects demand more complex simulations, as effects like strong synchrotron radiation or wake fields due to counter-rotating beams become important. In recent years, the BLonD community has also called for an improved user interface to ease the creation of input files for the simulations. This publication presents the latest software developments for BLonD. A redesigned, highly modular software architecture and improved user interface are currently being implemented, which simplify the creation of complicated relationships between physical phenomena. Preliminary testing and user feedback show improved scalability and flexibility, enabling the efficient development of particle-tracking simulations for next-generation accelerators, while facilitating the analysis of existing synchrotrons.
