Xsuite¶
Xsuite is a collection python packages for the simulation of the beam dynamics in particle accelerators. It supports different computing platforms, in particular conventional CPUs and and Graphic Processing Units (GPUs).
- Xsuite is composed by the following packages:
Xobjects: infrastructure to manage the memory, compile and execute code on different computing platforms;
Xpart: package to generate and manipulate ensembles of particles;
Xtrack: single-particle tracking library, creation/import of beam line descriptions;
Xfields: computation of the electromagnetic fields generated by particle ensembles using Particle In Cell (PIC) solvers or analytical distributions.
Xdeps: management of the dependencies, implementation of deferred expressions.
The implemented physics models are being documented in this guide. The source code is available in these GitHub repositories.
