Dissemination and support of ARGUS for accelerator applications. Technical progress report, April 24, 1991--January 20, 1992
The ARGUS code is a three-dimensional code system for simulating for interactions between charged particles, electric and magnetic fields, and complex structure. It is a system of modules that share common utilities for grid and structure input, data handling, memory management, diagnostics, and other specialized functions. The code includes the fields due to the space charge and current density of the particles to achieve a self-consistent treatment of the particle dynamics. The physic modules in ARGUS include three-dimensional field solvers for electrostatics and electromagnetics, a three-dimensional electromagnetic frequency-domain module, a full particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation module, and a steady-state PIC model. These are described in the Appendix to this report. This project has a primary mission of developing the capabilities of ARGUS in accelerator modeling of release to the accelerator design community. Five major activities are being pursued in parallel during the first year of the project. To improve the code and/or add new modules that provide capabilities needed for accelerator design. To produce a User`s Guide that documents the use of the code for all users. To release the code and the User`s Guide to accelerator laboratories for their own use, and to obtain feed-back from the. To build an interactive user interface for setting up ARGUS calculations. To explore the use of ARGUS on high-power workstation platforms.
