DYNAC Multiparticle Beam Simulation Code


The computer code DYNAC contains a set of very accurate quasi-Liouvillian beam dynamics equations, introduced in 1994. It is applicable to protons, heavy ions and non-relativistic electrons (the new beta version V6.0 also supports relativistic electrons; see news below). Long accelerating elements with complex and/or asymmetric longitudinal electromagnetic fields (e.g. superconducting cavities) may be treated as one cavity (in stead of individual cells). This is achieved through the novel concept of the "equivalent accelerating field" [1].


DYNAC has several space charge routines, including a 3D space charge routine called HERSC [2]. This routine derives from the typical procedure adopted in mathematical physics; the problem is transposed from some point to point correspondence onto a functional space spanned by a finite sequence of 3D Hermite functions, where the analytical set of beam self-field equations is found without any sort of restriction or basic hypothesis.
