Best Designs - ChicaneLinacA

In part 3, we move away from just the solenoid channel, and on to a more expansive simulation. ChicaneLinacA takes the design of SolenoidsOnly, and expands on it, adding a magnetic chicane, and a linac.

Weekly Stats July 26 2011

These are the weekly Muon1 stats for the past week, covering July 19 - July 26 2011

‎25,795 Trillion Particle timesteps overall (+142T over the past week)

Linac900Ext10tc2 is at 1.277794%, found by [DPC]Nightmare, an increase of 0.096446% from last week.

Linac900Ext6X is at 2.819721%, found by [DPC]Nightmare, an increase of 1.398705% from last week.

Trivia: What is Muon2?

from the Muon1 Forum

The presence of "1" in the name of Muon1 has confused a few people who think it's part of the version number (currently Muon1 v4.45). In fact, it got called that because it was the first muon-related program I wrote, allowing Muon2, Muon3 etc. to be entirely different programs doing other calculations related to muons.

Best Designs – Solenoidsto15Cm

In the second part of our series, we look at Solenoidsto15cm. This was the second lattice, and the first time that a change in the design paramaters had happened, without needing a new version of the client.

Weekly Stats July 19 2011

These are the weekly Muon1 stats for the past week, covering July 12 - July 19 2011

25,653 Trillion Particle timesteps overall (+162T over the past week)

Linac900Ext10tc2 is at 1.181348%, found by [DPC] Team ColdFusion~ColdFusion, up from -0.683166 last week
Linac900Ext6X is at 1.421016%, found by [DPC]Nightmare, up from -1.863604 last week

Best Designs – SolenoidsOnly

In the first part of our ongoing look at the best designs from each lattice, we start with SolenoidsOnly. This, the first lattice of the 4.3 branch of clients started by simulating only a decay channel, a step back from the v4.2x clients. And started in March 2003.

New Lattices Available - 6X and 10tc2

Today, the older lattices, Linac900Ext6Xc2 and Linac900Ext10td2 are retired. They were introduced in April 2011 and now, 3 months later, they've been retired. They've been replaced by tweaks named Linac900Ext6X and Linac900Ext10tc2.

Best Past Lattices

One of the more intriguing things about the Muon1 project is its modular structure. The underlying design is similar to a Lego set, with a core of a few different components altered to suit. This means that instead of redoing a new client for every change in project, a new lattice file, defining those building blocks is all it takes.
