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.
