pyTRAIN -- a modern TRAIN implementation
Michi Hostettler, Xavier Buffat, Tobias Persson +2
The TRAIN code, developed in 1995 as a post-processor for second-order transport maps from MAD, has been used extensively at the LEP and the LHC to study self-consistent closed orb…
Magnetization in superconducting corrector magnets and impact on luminosity-calibration scans in the Large Hadron Collider
Agnieszka Chmielińska, Lucio Fiscarelli, Michi Hostettler +3
Superconducting accelerator magnets have a nonlinear dependence of field on current due to the magnetization associated with the iron or with persistent currents in the superconduc…
Impact of Non-Gaussian Beam Profiles in the Performance of Hadron Colliders
S. Papadopoulou, F. Antoniou, T. Argyropoulos +3
At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the interplay between a series of effects, including intrabeam scattering (IBS), synchrotron radiation, longitudinal beam manipulations, two bea…
Luminosity Scans for Beam Diagnostics
Michael Hostettler, Kajetan Fuchsberger, Giulia Papotti +2
A new type of fast luminosity separation scans ("Emittance Scans") was introduced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2015. The scans were performed systematically in every…
