Electromagnetic field simulations for accelerator optimization Alexej Grudiev CERN, BE-RF 1stoPAC Workshop: Grand Challenges in Accelerator Optimization, 26-27 June 2013, CERN
Outline • A review of tools for electromagnetic field simulations used at CERN will be given. • A number of examples of its usage will be presented covering several areas of accelerator component design and optimization both RF and non-RF equipment: • accelerating cavities, • collimation devices, • etc. • A brief review of CLIC main linac RF frequency and accelerating gradient optimization will be given as an example of incorporating electromagnetic field simulation into a global optimization process including both • constraints coming from the beam dynamics simulations and • the empirical RF constraints related to the high gradient linac operation.

CST Studio Suite CST STUDIO SUITE: - CST MWS - CST DS - CST EMS - CST PS - CST MPS - CST PCBS - CST CS - CST MICROSTRIPES - Antenna Magus
CST: All you need in one package • Powerful and user-friendly Input: • Probably the best time domain (TD) solver for wakefields or beam coupling impedance calculations (MAFIA) • Beta < 1 • Finite Conductivity walls • Once geometry input is done it can be used both for TD and FD simulations • Moreover using Design Studio (DS) it can be combined with the other studios for multiphysicsand integrated electronics simulation, but this is relatively fresh fields of expertise for CST • Accelerator physics oriented post processor, especially in MWS and PS • Enormous progress over the last few years compared to the competitors.

CST: Shortcomings Cartesian mesh: Especially in FD can results to less accurate calculations of frequency, Q-factor, surface fields compared to tetrahedral mesh (HFSS, ACE3P). => if possible use tetrahedral mesh which became available recently and essentially gives the same results as FEM codes (HFSS, ACE3P). Boundary conditions can be set only in Cartesian planes No Field Calculator (HFSS) ...
HFSS: Still an excellent tool for FD • High-Performance Electronic Design • Ansoft Designer • ANSYS HFSS • ANSYS Q3D Extractor • ANSYS SIwave • ANSYS TPA • Electromechanical Design • ANSYS Multiphysics • ANSYS Maxwell • ANSYS Simplorer • ANSYS PExprt • ANSYS RMxprt • Product options • AnsoftLinks for ECAD • AnsoftLinks for MCAD • ANSYS Distributed Solve • ANSYS Full-Wave SPICE • ANSYS Optimetrics • ANSYS ParICs • HFSS was and I think still is superior tool for FD simulations both S-pars and eigenmode, though CST shows significant progress in the recent years • Automatic generation and refinement of tetrahedral mesh • Most complete list of boundary conditions which can be applied on any surface • Ansoft Designer allows to co-simulate the pick-up (antenna), cables plus electronics and together with versatile Optimetrics optimise the design of the whole device • Recently HFSS became an integral part of ANSYS – reference tool for thermo-mechanical simulations -> multiphysics • REcently time-dependent solver has been released

GdfidL: Parallel and easy to use tool • bruns@gdfidl.de • The GdfidL Electromagnetic Field simulator • GdfidL computes electromagnetic fields in 3D-structures using parallel or scalar computers. • GdfidL computes • Time dependent fields in lossfree or lossy structures. The fields may be excited by • port modes, • relativistic line charges. • Resonant fields in lossfree or lossy structures. • The postprocessor computes from these results eg. Scattering parameters, wake potentials, Q-values and shunt impedances. • Features • GdfidL computes only in the field carrying parts of the computational volume. • GdfidL uses generalised diagonal fillings to approximate the material distribution. This reduces eg. the frequency error by about a factor of ten. • For eigenvalue computations, GdfidL allows periodic boundary conditions in all three cartesian directions simultaneously. • GdfidL runs on parallel and serial computers. GdfidL also runs on clusters of workstations. • Availability • GdfidL only runs on UNIX-like operating systems.
