Multiparticle simulation of Accelerator System

Multiparticle simulation of Accelerator System

INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro The SPES Project requires multi-particle simulation of very high number of different accelerator setups. This requires high computing powers. The cloud permits to distribute the computational effort reducing the total time from days to hours. The Code TraceWin is used in client server mode with distributed runs on more than 1000 VCPUs.

Simulation and analysis activities in the GAMMA experiment

Simulation and analysis activities in the GAMMA experiment

INFN Section of Padua and National Laboratories of Legnaro AGATA, for Advanced GAmma Tracking Array, represents the state-of-the-art of high-resolution high-efficiency Germanium detector. CloudVeneto is used by the GAMMA group for simulations of future experiments using the AGATA array and a large variety of complementary detectors. The cloud machines distributed between all the members of the group, including students, has drastically reduced the time lost on the management of the simulation packages. In particular the Monte Carlo numerical simulation for the optimization of the design of the GALILEO phase II at the Legnaro National Laboratories was entirely performed on CloudVeneto instances. In parallel, machines dedicated to the analysis of AGATA data have been configured and are currently heavily used for the analysis of the AGATA-NEDA-DIAMANT campaign. In parallel to the analysis using the existing software, the group is also involved in the development and improvement of the data processing chain. In particular in the framework of the OASIS project, devoted to the improvement of AGATA performance via software, the CloudVeneto is being used to investigate the Pulse Shape Analysis capabilities.

Multiparticle simulation of high intensity injectors ​

Multiparticle simulation of high intensity injectors ​

INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro New upgrade and application of the high intensity accelerators (e.g. Linac4, Fermilab, IFMIF, ESS) require multi-particle simulation of Columbian interactive system with demanding computing powers. The possibility to include new phenomena such as the secondary plasma evolution, generation and interaction with the primary beam in the beam dynamics calculation, is essential to understand the complex physics of these machines. We are currently involved in the commissioning of the IFMIF-EVEDA prototype accelerator, the world leading accelerator of this type. We are using the Cloud to perform parallel simulations of the low energy transfer lines and source. Dott. Michele Comunian
