  • Abstract
    A novel HIF code, FOCI, combines the capabilities of several codes: (1) the x,y envelope equations are integrated in the axial direction, (2) an optimizer varies selected transport system parameters to make the envelope satisfy weighted constraints, (3) transverse particle motion can be followed simultaneously, (4) the E field used for the particle advance is computed from Poisson´s equation using the local beam charge density, as input, and (5) longitudinal velocity variations can be included in the particle description.<>
