The application package DeCA for calculating cyclic accelerators

Abstract

The application package DeCA (Design Cyclic Accelerator) is offered to solve a set of problems which arise on designing electron storage rings. The package is based on the block principle. This makes it extremely flexible in designing storage rings and investigating beam dynamics in them. The package is intended for a user not familiar with programming languages, it is arranged so that the user familiar with FORTRAN-77 can easily extend the package functions. This is of particular interest when the input data are the storage ring or electron bunch parameters. The code allows operation in both the batch and interactive modes. The programming language is FORTRAN-77. The capacity, of the total package is 40000 code lines. The necessary main storage capacity for the total version is 4 Mbytes.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
