October 11, 2024 - Collaboration meeting

[juanfem]

Juan: working on a TraceWin parser and benchmarking. Still not sure what format to use for lattice at ESS. Wondering if we should add a parser for Open XAL files so as not to maintain a separate set of files. Brandon comments that Open XAL and PyORBIT lattice files are handled separately at SNS.
Sofia: bunch rotation simulations show large differences between pyorbit and x-suite. To be investigated
Huang: observed that fringe field effects are different in PyORBIT and MADX.
Huang: presented results with differences between MCNP, BDSIM, Xsuite, and PyORBIT while simulating scattering in a foil.
Daniel: comparison between RF fieldmaps in TraceWin and PyORBIT.
Andrei: MPI issue (#31) needs to be fixed. @juanfem agreed to have a look.

Brandon presented his work on the virtual accelerator VIRAC (https://github.com/PyORBIT-Collaboration/virtual-accelerator).
