DIMAD based interactive simulation of the CEBAF accelerator

An X-Windows-based interactive interface to the DIMAD beam optics program enables users to simulate the adjustment of magnets in tuning various segments of the CEBAF beamline. In addition, users can track the effects of random errors on the path of individual particles as magnets are adjusted. The interface sits on top of the standard DIMAD model, retaining the detailed modeling available with that code. Because X-Windows software was used, the code is portable to any system that has X-Windows and the X-Windows Toolkit available. Results from studies simulating the extraction portion of the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) beamline are given.<
