Beam Loss

  • Based on bdsim/examples/beamLoss/bl.gmad

A simple example of a BDSIM model that sprays particles everywhere. It consists of four quadrupole magnets that are on but not designed to contain the beam. The beam is lost quickly creating a spray of secondary partilces in both the machine components as well as the surrounding tunnel.

How to run:

bdsim --file=bl.gmad
../_images/beamLoss.png

Running 10 events with the following command in the visualiser session prompt, the following visualisation is produced.

/run/beamOn 10
../_images/beamLoss-10events.png

The default colour coding is described in Colour Coding.
