Software

Optim32 beamline design software

http://www-bdnew.fnal.gov/pbar/organizationalchart/lebedev/OptiM/optim.htm


G4Beamline

http://www.muonsinc.com/tiki-index.php?page=G4beamline


Quick Start

The instruction below assume you have successfully installed the software above.

Create the *.in files

On the windows machine you can open the file below which represent one design for the HRRL positron source

File:Optim32 HRRL Design Script V1.0.txt

save the above file as HRRL.opt.

The launch the Optim executable by double clicking.

After it is launched click on the "file" menu in the GUI and select the "Open" menu item to choose the file HRRL.opt.

After it is loaded you should see the following below.

If you click on the icon with the [math]\beta \psi[/math] symbols (9th button from the end of the tool bar) you can get a plot of the beam dispersion

Optim QS Step2.png


This is an interactive display. You can adjust values in the loaded text vile and watch their effect on the dispersion. Notice the colored rectangles at the colored rectangles at the bottom of the beta curve sub window. Starting from the left bottom there are 3 read rectangles , a blue rectangle, then 3 red rectangles, a blue rectangle, and finally 3 more red rectangles. The red rectangles are the quadrupoles in the beam line and the blue rectangles are the dipoles. If you click on them their element name will appear in the upper right corner of the dispersion sub window.

If you scroll down the HRRL.opt input file to line which says

begin list

you will se a list of all the elements, the B-field values, their lengths, etc...

If you scroll down to the first quad

q0 	L[cm]=13         	G[kG/cm]=0.0438324 	Tilt[deg]=0

you can move the curser the the B-field value "G[kG/cm]=0.0438324" and increment it while watch the effect on the dispersion plot. You increments it hitting the left and right arrow keys while holding down the "Crtl" key. The value of the increment step is controlled by through the parameters available in the dialog box you get when you select "Steps" from the "Edit" menu.

The above says the quadrupole B-field step size is set to 0.005.

Let's assume you have finished a design and now you would like to simulate the beam line using G4beamline.

Create a text file by selecting "Lattice" from the "View" menu (Alt-L is the shortcut key) and click OK when the dialog box appears below.

Clicking "OK" in the dialog box will cause a text window to open up which looks like the image below.


Optim QS Step5.png

Save the list of elements to a text file. The text window contains other text you don't need for G4bemline. The following is the text file which was written for this example

Save the above file under the file HRRL.txt or any simular name

Converting text file for G4beamline

A perl script has been written to convert the above list of beamline elements into a G4beamline input file.

the syntax is

perl optim2g4beam.pl HRRL.txt

creating virtual detectors

Virtual detector may be created to intercept the particles traveling down the beam pipe to record their momentum and position at specified locations along the beam line.
