Beampath

BEAMPATH is a 2D and 3D code for simulation of space charge dominated beam dynamics in linear particle accelerators and beam transport. The program is used for particle-in-cell simulation of axial-symmetric, quadrupole-symmetric and z-uniform beams in a channel containing RF gaps, radio-frequency quadrupoles, multipole lenses, solenoids, bending magnets, accelerating waveguides. Detailed description of model can be found in Y.K.Batygin, “Particle-in-cell code BEAMPATH for beam dynamics simulations in linear accelerators and beamlines” Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A 539 (2005) 455–489.
