Another index of existing and historical accelerator simulation codes is located at the CERN CARE/HHH website.
[2] For many applications it is sufficient to track a single particle through the relevant electric and magnetic fields.
Old codes no longer maintained by their original authors or home institutions include: BETA,[3] AGS, ALIGN, COMFORT, DESIGN, DIMAD, HARMON, LEGO, LIAR, MAGIC, MARYLIE, PATRICIA, PETROS, RACETRACK, SYNCH,[4] TRANSPORT, TURTLE, and UAL.
[5] Major maintained codes include: Can simulate the effect of synchrotron radiation emission on the particles being tracked.
Strong-strong codes include An important class of collective effects may be summarized in terms of the beams response to an "impedance".
Codes for this computation include To control the charged particle beam, appropriate electric and magnetic fields must be created.
There are software packages to help in the design and understanding of the magnets, RF cavities, and other elements that create these fields.
The file formats used in MAD may be the most common, with translation routines available to convert to an input form needed for a different code.
When performing a modeling task for any accelerator operation, the results of charged particle beam dynamics simulations must feed into the associated application.
