A Parallel Code for Lifetime Simulations in Hadron Storage Rings in the Presence of Parasitic Beam-Beam Interactions

Conference · · Conf.Proc.C030512:3542,2003
OSTI ID:925786

The usual approach to predict particle loss in storage rings in the presence of nonlinearities consists in the determination of the dynamic aperture of the machine. This method, however, will not directly predict the lifetimes of beams. We have developed a code which can, by parallelization and careful speed optimization, predict lifetimes in the presence of 100 parasitic beam-beam crossings by tracking > 10{sup 10} particles-turns. An application of this code to the anti-proton lifetime in the Tevatron at injection is discussed.
