1. Mad-X AB/ABP Meeting Agenda: 1.Latest MAD-X developments &Plan 2.Module Keeper Crises –My Tasks –Module Keeper Tasks –Uncovered Modules 3.A.O.B.

2. October 11, 2004MAD-X Group Meeting2 Latest MAD-X Developments Done Various Code Fixes (  AV, FS, HB, HG). Major Memory Bug  WH Simultaneous closed correction of 2 beams including common elements  WH Finish plot module, edge effects, fully “Twiss” compatible  Td’A Scatter plot for tracking using Gnuplot on Linux and Windows  Td’A Table and plotting for ptc_twiss  Td’A SODD First example of integration of independent program as a module in MAD-X  Td’A MAD-X parser as requested by SLAC & Cornell  HG Makefile development  HB Progress on Aperture Calculation  IW & JBJ Executables for MAD-X proper and MAD-X-PTC on Linux, Windows & MAC OS-X Special Windows version with CVF fixed  Pete Tenenbaum

3. October 11, 2004MAD-X Group Meeting3 & Plans To be Done Defining hysteresis errors  WH (done?) Disentangle various problems with tracking and/or twiss  FS & AV Program integrity  FS & Eric McIntosh Aperture Calculation  IW & JBJ Nonlinear Terms from PTC for Matching  ITEP, OB & FS PTC tracking  ITEP PTC docu, examples: CLIC, smaller machines & transfer lines Finding Module Keepers !!!

4. October 11, 2004MAD-X Group Meeting4 My Tasks (max 50% time) Maintain & debug core code Administration Custodian duties (in- and outside CERN) Twiss C6t SODD PTC related modules

5. October 11, 2004MAD-X Group Meeting5 Module Keeper Tasks Take over and develop independent Code (C and/or Fortran) Provide it as a subroutine and specify input and output May help with MAD-X interfaces Provide docu and some examples Maintain code and react to bug reports and upgrade requests

6. October 11, 2004MAD-X Group Meeting6 Uncovered Modules There are a few uncritical modules and I am happy about them But: With Critical Modules we will have problems! Work done by (soon to be) retired and minimum 48 External Module Keepers unreliable Soon no support: –Thin Tracking –Survey –Plot –IBS –Matching –PTC (Fortran 90) where are the young ones??

7. October 11, 2004MAD-X Group Meeting7 AOB Fortran compilers provided for all 3 platforms Linux: NAG & Lahey on lxplus (for all) Windows-I: Lahey 5 node licenses (FS,JJ,EM,BOINC) Windows-II: CVF 6.1A (for all) & 2 newest CVF 6.6 (FS&JJ) Mac OS-X: 5 NAG node licenses (FS,HB,SR + reserve) Free g95, tested on Linux  FS, Mac OS-X  HB, still buggy but lots of progress!
