Abstract
| High-energy particle beams interact electromagnetically with their surroundings when they travel inside an accelerator. These interactions may cause beam-induced heating of the accelerator’s components, which could eventually lead to outgassing, equipment degradation and physical damage. The expected beam-induced heating can be related to the beam coupling impedance, an electromagnetic property of every accelerator device. Accounting for beam-induced heating is crucial both at the design phase of an accelerator component and for gaining an understanding of devices¿ failures. In this paper, an in-house developed Python tool to compute beam-induced heating due to impedance is introduced. The different features and capabilities will be showcased and applied to real devices in the LHC and the injector chain. |
