CAVEL

This directory contains files related to the code CAVEL, which is one of the tools that is being used by the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration for the design of cooling lattices for neutrino factories and muon colliders.

The program CAVEL simulates the motion of ELectrons inside an RF CAVity. The cavity is assumed to be either an azimuthally symmetric cylinder or a rectangular box. The cavity may be immersed in a 2D or 3D external magnetic field. For the cylinder the cavity boundary coordinates and RF fields come from SuperFish.

Caveat Emptor

CAVEL is under active development at the present time. It is being made available as a potential aid to members of the collaboration for studying cooling lattice design. Although considerable effort has gone into making the code give accurate answers, it is ultimately the user's responsibility to check that the program gives reasonable answers to any specific problem.

This version

Version 1.24 fixes a bug that gave zero electric field in the cavity.

(19 October 2009)

Previous versions

Version 1.23 added the ability to use rectangular RF cavities. (11 March 2009)

Version 1.22 allows setting MAGDIM=0 for no external magnetic field. An interpolation error was fixed for cavity fields. (20 February 2009)
