Recent results and future challenges in advanced accelerator simulation


Abstract

Simulation, using particle-in-cell (pic) methods,has played a critical role in the evolution of the field of plasma-based acceleration. Early on simulations allowed the testing of new ideas using so-called cartoon parameters. These simulations were done in either one or two dimensions. Through the development of new algorithms and parallel computing, today, we can now use pic simulations to model the full-scale of ongoing experiments in three-dimensions. These experiments are attempting to accelerate electrons to 1 GeV. In this talk I will present recent results in which simulation results are compared to experiment and I will discuss the future challenges in advanced accelerator modeling. Principally, these are 1. to be able to model the 100+ on 100+ GeV collider in three-dimensions and, 2. to develop more efficient, yet still accurate, algorithms so that simulation can be used for real-time feedback with experiment.
