Development and Benchmarking of Codes for Simulation of Beam-beam Effects at the Lhc
نویسنده
چکیده
The code is described in more detail in the Proceedings of PAC05 [1]. Below a brief summary of the code features is given. Lifetrac is a weak-strong beam-beam code that was originally created for simulating equilibrium distributions in electron-positron colliders (circa 1995). Eventually, the author added the functionality to simulate non-equilibrium distributions (2003-2004), making it a conventional macro particle tracking code. Lifetrac tracks a bunch of particles through the machine lattice and beam-beam interactions. The major design principles are the following
