I just finished writing a paper about crystalline beams where the bunch heats at a rate of 0.529K/s.  I also tweaked a parameter slightly, ran a simulation over the weekend and got one that heats at only 0.272K/s.  Too late to change the paper now (I'd have to re-plot everything else!)  Also, these simulations of 5500 turns in the #accelerator take 65 hours each, so not easy to scan parameters around to find the perfect spot.  Having said that, maybe I could scan the magnet setting *during* the simulation and look for the flattest part of the temperature rise?  #physics<p><a href='posts/202605/post-20260504-203753-a.png'><img src='posts/202605/post-20260504-203753-a.png' loading='lazy' /></a></p>
