Transverse space charge effect calculation in the Synergia accelerator modeling toolkit

Abstract

This paper describes a transverse space charge effect calculation algorithm, developed in the context of accelerator modeling toolkit Synergia [1]. The introduction to the space charge problem and the Synergia modeling toolkit short description are given. The developed algorithm is explained and the implementation is described in detail. As a result of this work a new space charge solver was developed and integrated into the Synergia toolkit. The solver showed correct results in comparison to existing Synergia solvers and delivered better performance in the regime where it is applicable.
