Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. The corrective steering algorithm in TRACK has been recently updated to be more realistic. A simplified formalism will be presented along with the method of implementation. As an important application, the algorithm was used to determine the number of correctors and monitors required for the front-end of the HINS project at Fermilab. The algorithm allowed us also to find the optimum locations for the correctors and monitors as well as the required corrector field strength and the required monitor precision for an effective correction. This correction procedure could be easily implemented in an accelerator control-room for real-time machine operations. |
