Field integral calculation for our EPUs using RADIA


Taken from Andy's e-mail explaining the simulations:

Hi Christoph,

I've just taken a look (as we agreed at Monday's meeting) at the field
integrals through the EPU in RADIA.  I attach a plot of the results.
This shows the vertical kick in urad experienced by a particle entering
on the "design orbit" as a function of the shift parameter in units of
the undulator period.  The points show the values obtained by
integrating the horizontal field along the magnetic axis of the
undulator.  Of course, one should integrate along the trajectory, but
the amplitude is small enough that the difference is negligible.  Since
RADIA takes ages to integrate along the trajectory, but gives the
integral along the straight line almost instantly, I cheated.  The line
shows the values obtained by actually calculating the trajectory, and
looking for the value of z' (in RADIA co-ordinate system!) at the exit
(i.e. far enough out of the undulator that z' isn't changing anymore).
The agreement is pretty good, so my assumption that I can replace the
real trajectory by a straight line seems to be reasonable.

The non-zero values that I find are a consequence of the permeability
varying from 1.  The vertical field integral seems always to be in the
noise.  I also checked the amplitude of the orbit with zero shift
parameter, and it agrees well with the analytical result, so I must be
doing something right with RADIA, even if I don't have it fully worked
out yet.

It will be interesting to see how these results compare to the
feed-forward tables that are actually used...

Andy.


P.S.: Oleg Choubar later found that the Radia model was not sliced fine enough. Therefore the field integrals came out small in these simulations. Oleg's results will be posted soon.
