Large-Scale Simulation of Beam Delivery System for X-Ray Free Electron Lasers
March 20, 2008
In this talk, we will discuss some computational challenges associated with modeling beam delivery system for x-ray FELs. We will present the numerical model used to simulate beam transport through accelerator on large scale parallel computers. We will also present some physical simulation results and future study plans.
