  • Simulation codes are very important to design and study particle accelerators. This project aims to compare the results in test cases between different simulation codes such as: MAD-X, PTC and SixTrack. The student will be involved in understanding the differences between the codes and find possible bugs. Most differences are due to differences in modeling but there will also be differences due to numerical issues. It will be important to separate these cases from real issues with the implementation of the physics.
