ACCELERATOR SEMINAR 

Advanced Computational Techniques for Design and Simulation of High Luminosity Muon Accelerators 

Hisham Sayed 
Brookhaven National Laboratory 

Realizing a high luminosity Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory requires two essential components:  a bright muon beam source and an aggressive ionization cooling.  In this talk, I will go over the details of the design and optimization of a bright muon source and a novel high-field low-energy ionization cooling channel through advanced numerical simulation techniques. 

The study of the design and the beam dynamics of the complex muon source and the ionization cooling channel through numerical simulation requires the integration of advanced parallel optimization algorithms with multi-particle tracking and Mont Carlo simulations. 

Details of a parallel multi-objective optimization algorithm which has the ability to work in multi-layers of parallelism will be presented.  The application of such a robust high performance optimization algorithm in the design of the above-mentioned channels will be discussed in detail. 

Finally, I will wrap up the talk with a thorough explanation of the meticulous process of integration of parrallelized Monte-Carlo simulation codes with optimization algorithms.
