MOPKF082 A Multi-bunch, Three-dimensional, Strong-strong Beam-beam Simulation Code for Parallel Computers 509

  We have developed a parallel simulation code allowing the self-consistent, three-dimensional simulation of the strong-strong beam-beam effect, using a particle-on-mesh technique and fast elliptic solvers. It is able to operate with sufficiently high logitudinal resolution to treat phase-averaging and hourglass effects in the interaction point (IP) correctly. This code has been generalized to handle the collisions of an arbitrary set of bunches at arbitrary positions in the ring (parasitic crossings), using appropriately reduced longitudinal resolution of collisions not in the design IP. We provide benchmarking results and parameter studies based on PEP-II.

  PEP-II is an e+e- B-Factory Collider located at SLAC operating at the Upsilon 4S resonance. PEP-II has delivered, over the past four years, an integrated luminosity to the BaBar detector of over 175 fb-1 and has reached a luminosity over 7.4x1033/cm2/s. Steady progress is being made in reaching higher luminosity. The goal over the next few years is to reach a luminosity of at least 2x1034/cm2/s. The accelerator physics issues being addressed in PEP-II to reach this goal include the electron cloud instability, beam-beam effects, parasitic beam-beam effects, trickle injection, high RF beam loading, lower beta y*, interaction region operation, and coupling control.

  Design studies are underway to arrive at a complete parameter set for a very high luminosity e+e- Super B-Factory (SBF) in the luminosity range approaching 1036/cm2/s. The design is based on a collider in the PEP-II tunnel but with an upgraded RF system (higher frequency), magnets, vacuum system, and interaction region. The accelerator physics issues associated with this design are reviewed as well as the site and power constraints. Near term future studies will be discussed.

  Using a self-consistent, three-dimensional simulation program running on parallel supercomputers, we have simulated the beam-beam interaction at the PEP II asymmetric e+e- collider. In order to provide guidance to luminosity improvement in PEP-II, we have scanned the tunes and other machine parameters in both rings, and computed their impact on the luminosity and particle loss. Whenever possible, the code has been benchmarked against experimental measurements, at various beam currents, of luminosity and luminous-region size using the BaBar detector. These studies suggest that three-dimensional effects such as bunch lengthening may be important to understand a steep drop of luminosity near the peak currents.

  I will give a comprehensive review of existing particle tracking tools to assess long-term particle stability for small and large accelerators in the presence of realistic magnetic imperfections and machine misalignments. The emphasis will be given to the tracking and analysis tools based upon the differential algebra, Lie operator, and "polymorphism". Using these tools, a uniform linear and non-linear analysis will be outlined as an application to the normal form. Finally I will compare simulation results with observations in existing circular accelerators. "Model independent analysis" will be treated as an example for measuring machine optics.

  Several computer codes written at various laboratories are employed for modelling the generation and the consequences of an electron cloud. We review the most popular of these programs, which simulate either the build of an electron cloud or the instabilities it produces, and we compare simulation results for identical, or similar, input parameters obtained from the various codes.
