  1. Positron Capture Simulations: Runge-Kutta vs Boris Leo Jenner, Daresbury Labs Spin Tracking Meeting

  2. Outline… • Positron capture optics • What is astra? • Spin tracking… • T-BMT equation • Runge-Kutta integration method • Boris’ method Spin Tracking Meeting

  3. Capture Optics Design V.S.Kashikhin z z Two coil magnet gives focussing solenoid field Spin Tracking Meeting

  4. ASTRA Klaus Floettmann Spin Tracking Meeting

  5. T-BMT Equation Lorentz Factor Differential Equation… Gyromagnetic anomaly Spin Tracking Meeting

  6. Let an initial value problem be specified as follows. • Then, the RK4 method for this problem is given by the following equation: • where • Thus, the next value (yn+1) is determined by the present value (yn) plus the • product of the size of the interval (h) and an estimated slope. The slope is a weighted average of slopes: • k1 is the slope at the beginning of the interval; • k2 is the slope at the midpoint of the interval, using slope k1 to determine the value of y at the point tn + h/2 using Euler's method; • k3 is again the slope at the midpoint, but now using the slope k2 to determine the y-value; • k4 is the slope at the end of the interval, with its y-value determined using k3. Runge-Kutta Integrator Scheme Andriy Ushakov Spin Tracking Meeting

  7. Boris’ Numerical Integration Scheme Jeff Smith • Advance w by vector term b a half-step • Advance w by M a full step • Advance w by b a half-step Spin Tracking Meeting

  8. R-K vs Boris Boris: 2nd order, good at preserving conserving quantities, 1 calculation per step R-K: 4th order, 4 calculations per step (speed!) Will try both! Spin Tracking Meeting

  9. Conclusions… • ASTRA can be used to simulate the motion of particles/bunches in the capture optics section • …but doesn’t have spin tracking included… • Spin tracking subroutine using Boris integrator underway • Spin tracking subroutine using Runge-Kutta integrator underway – cross-check • Merlin?
