Beam-based Diagnostics class at the USPAS 2012 in Grand Rapids, Michigan


The purpose of the computer class of the beam-based diagnostics course is to demonstrate some of the concepts introduced in the lectures. The class made use of Matlab, which is a program package mostly for numerical computation that is widely used at accelerator laboratories. The accelerator code used was the Accelerator Toolbox (AT) (mostly written by Andrei Terebilo from SLAC/SSRL) with the so called accelerator control 'middle layer' (mostly written by Greg Portmann from LBNL/ALS).

You can download the matlab middle layer software, including AT and LOCO, as well as the lattice and control system configuration files of many light sources at http://als.lbl.gov/als_physics/portmann/MiddleLayer/.

Matlab scripts (*.m) with examples for computer lab (will be posted daily):

Copies of homework problem sets or solutions available by e-mail request from CSteier@lbl.gov.
