#  MESS - MAD-X Example Study Scripts

This repository is a collection of MAD-X scripts used for various studies in the optics measurements and corrections group (OMC).

### Getting Started

The scripts can be browsed via github or the full repository can be obtained either via `git clone https://github.com/pylhc/MESS.git` or downloading the zipped repository.

### Prerequisites

To run the scripts, [MAD-X](https://mad.web.cern.ch/mad/) is required. If not otherwise stated, all scripts have been tested using MAD-X > 5.05.02.

### Documentation

- Each script directory contains a ``README``, outlining the basic functionality and notes on possible pitfalls.

- Excessive use of comments in the MAD-X scripts itself is encouraged.

- General documentation of the OMC Team is located at https://pylhc.github.io/.

### Maintainability

- The main scripts should be named ``job.madx`` and placed in an accordingly named directory in the directory tree.

- Supporting files should be uploaded in the script directory. Links to external afs directories should be avoided as files might be modified there or removed.

- Running with the minimum amount of unavoidable MAD-X errors is prefered.

## Studies

- *LHC* - The flagship collider of the 21st century

    - *Coupling RDT Bump* - Creates closed coupling bumps in the LHC IR2 and Arc12. For Beam2, a model twiss for clockwise orientation is created and then tracking is performed using the correct counterclockwise sequence of Beam2.

    - *Sextupole RDT Bump* - Creates closed sextupole RDT bump in Arc12.

    - *Injectionenergy with misaligments and correction* - Realistic model of the LHC at injection energy with misaligments and nonlinear correction.

    - *Kmod simulation* - Simulating K-Modulation in one Q1 quadrupole.

    - *Tracking with ACD* - Setup for AC-dipole in LHC and subsequent tracking.

    - *Model Creation with ACD* - Setup for twiss outputs taking in consideration the effect of AC dipoles.

- *FODO Testlattice* - Small FODO lattice for benchmarking theories and scripts

    - *Lattice Setup* - Setting up basic lattice and return twiss.

    - *Phase Trombone* - Setting up basic lattice, match tunes via a phase trombone and return twiss.

    - *Phase Error Propagation* - Setting up basic lattice, examine phase error under different boundary conditions

- *PETRA3* - PETRA III, DESY's brilliant X-ray light source

    - *Model Creation* - Creates model twiss files with AC-dipole and tune selection.
