SYNERGIA: A MODERN TOOL FOR ACCELERATOR PHYSICS SIMULATION

Abstract High precision modeling of space-charge effects, together with accurate treatment of single-particle dynamics, is essential for designing future accelerators as well as optimizing the performance of existing machines. Synergia is a high-fidelity parallel beam dynamics simulation package with fully three dimensional space-charge capabilities and a higher order optics implementation. We describe the computational techniques, the advanced human interface, and the parallel performance obtained using large numbers of macroparticles

Report of the Supersymmetry Theory Subgroup

We provide a mini-guide to some of the possible manifestations of weak-scale supersymmetry. For each of six scenarios we provide ffl a brief description of the theoretical underpinnings, ffl the adjustable parameters, ffl a qualitative description of the associated phenomenology at future colliders, ffl comments on how to simulate each scenario with existing event generators. I. Introduction The Standard Model (SM) is a theory of spin- 1 2 matter fermions which interact via the exchange of spin-1 gauge bosons, where the bosons and fermions live in independent representations of the gauge symmetries. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a symmetry which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom, and provides a relation between their couplings [1]. Relativistic quantum field theory is formulated to be consistent with the symmetries of the Lorentz/Poincare group -- a non-compact Lie algebra. Mathematically, supersymmetry is formulated as a generali..
