Input files: optLinac.dataoptLinac.tmpl

10 design variables

  • Laser radius
  • FWHM of laser pulse
  • Solenoid strength
  • Gun phase
  • Linac cavity phase L1-L6

Emittance (emitx) and bunch length (rms_s) are recorded/optimized at 12.51 m.

optLinac-1

Reduced problem in order to have one forward solution in less than 2 minutes:

  • Cores= 128
  • Gens = 1000
  • Indiv = 127
  • Grid = 8x8x16
  • Np = 5000
  • T1 = 5e-13
  • T2 = 5e-12
  • Total time for optimisation: 1271 (s)

G2 Optimisation

Gantry

7 design variables

  • 7 quadrupole field gradients (all gantry 2 quadrupoles)

To optimize are the beam size (and the transmission) at the gantry isocenter (52.165m). The simulation started with a pre defined beam and also included the last quadrupole triplet (untouched settings) before the gantry (31.5926 - 52.50m).

  • Cores= 64
  • Gens = 100
  • Initial population = 63
  • Final population = 125
  • NumParticles = 8000
  • Timestep = 1e-11s

PSI Ring Turnseparation

The PSI Ring parameters are not well-known. The goal of this study is to find good simulation parameters that match the measurements. As objectives we use the radial turn locations. As optimisation parameters we use the injection angle, radius, energy and radial momentum.

For more info see PSI Turn Separation.

Gantry Optimisation

Simple setup one dipole. Shift initial distribution in x-y plane and search for minimal emittance. Run 1000 generations.
