TI - RFTweak 5 - An Efficient Longitudinal Beam Dynamics Code
J2 - Proc. of FEL2015
AB - The shaping of the longitudinal phase space in bunch compression systems is essential for efficient FEL operation. RF systems and self-field interactions contribute to the overall phase space structure. The design of the various facilities relies on extensive beam dynamics simulations to define the longitudinal dynamics. However, in everyday control room applications such techniques are often not fast enough for efficient operation, e.g. for SASE tuning. Therefore efficient longitudinal beam dynamics codes are required while still maintaining reasonable accuracy. Our approach is to pre-calculate most of the required data for self-field interactions and store them on disc to reduce required online calculation time to a minimum. In this paper we present the fast longitudinal tracking code RFTweak 5, which includes wakes, space charge, and CSR interactions. With this code the full European XFEL with a 1M particles bunch is calculated on the order of minutes on a standard laptop. Neglecting CSR effects this time reduces to seconds.
