COSY(ID:1776/cos005)

COSY Infinity is an arbitrary order beam dynamic simulation and analysis code. It allows the study of lattices, spectographs, beamlines, electron microscopes, and many other devices. It can determine high-order maps of combinations of particle-optical elements of arbitrary field configurations. The elements can either be based on a large library of existing elements with realistic field configurations including fringe fields, or described in detail by measured data. Two methods of obtaining information on how to use COSY: the COSY manual, and the lecture. The lecture is audio, and is downloaded as such, with lecture notes.

The codes contain modules for the computation of derivatives to very high orders in many variables, with a particular emphasis on sparsity. The main use of the code lies in the field of nonlinear dynamics, where it is used for the computation of perturbation expansions of Poincare maps to high orders as well as their analysis based on normal forms and other methods. Using Remainder Differential Algebraic Methods, quantitativ and mathematically rigorous statemen about long term stability can be made for general systems. The code is currently used by more than 150 registered users, mostly in the field of beamphysics for the study and design of particle accelerators.
