Solenoid channel
Proton beam undergoing 90 deg X-Y rotation in an ideal solenoid channel.
The matched Twiss parameters at entry are:
\(\beta_\mathrm{x} = 2.4321374875\) m
\(\alpha_\mathrm{x} = 0.0\)
\(\beta_\mathrm{y} = 2.4321374875\) m
\(\alpha_\mathrm{y} = 0.0\)
We use a 250 MeV proton beam with initial unnormalized rms emittance of 1 micron in the horizontal plane, and 2 micron in the vertical plane.
The solenoid magnetic field corresponds to B = 2 T.
The second moments of the particle distribution after the solenoid channel are rotated by 90 degrees: the final horizontal moments should coincide with the initial vertical moments, and vice-versa, to within the level expected due to noise due to statistical sampling.
In this test, the initial and final values of \(\sigma_x\), \(\sigma_y\), \(\sigma_t\), \(\epsilon_x\), \(\epsilon_y\), and \(\epsilon_t\) must agree with nominal values.
Run
This example can be run as a Python script (python3 run_solenoid.py
) or with an app with an input file (impactx input_solenoid.in
).
Each can also be prefixed with an MPI executor, such as mpiexec -n 4 ...
or srun -n 4 ...
, depending on the system.
