Abstract
MAD-X is the successor of
MAD-8,
a program for accelerator design and simulation with a long history.
We had to give up on MAD8 since the code had evolved in such a way
that the maintenance and upgrades became increasingly difficult. In
particular, the memory management with the Zebra banks seems outdated
these days.
MAD-X was first released in June, 2002. It offers most of the MAD-8 functionality, with some additions, corrections, and extensions. The most important of these extensions is the interface to PTC, the Polymorphic Tracking Code of E. Forest.
The most important new features of MAD-X are:
Program
For the time being we envisage 20 minutes talks followed by a 10
minutes session for questions. In case many more talks might be given
we may decide to shorten them such that ample time remains in the
afternoon for general questions and to try out examples on the
computer.
