Collaboration for Advanced Modeling of Particle Accelerators

The pverarching purpose is to accelerate and expand the scope of discoveries from high energy physics (HEP) particle accelerators by enabling the design of accelerators that are significantly more compact and cheaper to build and run. This will be realized through (i) developing high-performance computing (HPC) accelerator and beam modeling capabilities to design the full range of systems required (ii) developing community simulation ecosystems that seamlessly integrate accelerator elements to facilitate the design and control of next-generation accelerators.

Advanced Modeling of Conventional Particle Accelerators

SciDAC-5 goals: Deliver particle accelerator and beam simulations tools that go beyond the current state of the art, up to the realization of virtual twins of particle accelerators, enabling design and modeling of particle accelerators at unprecedented speed, levels of accuracy, and realism; and apply these tools to key accelerator facilities relevant to DOE HEP (such as PIP-II/DUNE, FACET-II).

Advanced Modeling of Plasma-based Particle Accelerators

Plasma-based acceleration (PBA) driven by an intense laser (LWFA) or particle beam (PWFA) can produce ultra-high accelerating fields in excess of a GV/cm. PBA could substantially reduce the size and cost of future linear collider facilities if deployed successfully. PBA enables compact tabletop accelerators that can provide lower energy GeV-class beams in a laboratory setting. PBA enables high quality beam generation suitable for x-ray free electron lasers (XFEL) via controllable methods of self-injection. Challenges in modeling and optimization of multi-stage PBA motivate the need for exascale computing and state-of-the-art PIC codes.
