Coherent synchrotron radiation calculations using TraFiC/sup 4/: multi-processor simulations and optics scans

Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is one of the most important effects in the design of high-quality beamlines with small bending radii. For a wide class of problems, numerical simulation is the only method to predict its effects. TraFiC/sup 4/ is one of several simulation codes in existence. In this paper, we describe its extension to multi-processor machines, resulting in a substantial saving of CPU time. Also, we describe a semi-analytical approach to the problem of optics-dependence of emittance growth due to CSR.
