The Final Focus System is part of the Beam Delivery System. • The Final Focus System (FFS) is focuses the beam near the interaction point (IP). • Within the FFS, there are nine sextupoles that can focus a beam with energy spread.
The sextupoles can have their location and strength adjusted to minimize sigma. • The program MapClass2 simulates the beam and the FFS system. • While higher order calculations of the beam spread are necessary, they are time consuming.
Nelder Mead’s Simplex Method will be used to minimize beam size. • There is no guarantee that the original Nelder Mead’s Simplex Method will look in the right direction, i.e. down the steepest gradient. • Improved Nelder Mead method calculates pseudo-gradients to improve the search direction. • We must adjust the original simplex code and apply it to ALL sextupoles’ positions and strengths.
Anticipated obstacles: • I’m new to Python. • I’ve been calculating σx. I want χ2. • Accuracy increases calculation time. • 10-dimensional simplexes will be difficult to minimize. • Basically, there are many small things to change in the program that optimize the output and it will take a lot of time to find the best parameters.
