Online Footprint Viewer

Short description

The knowledge of the machine optics and beam parameters are extracted from the LSA and logging database to construct a (thin lens) MAD-X model of the machine including the lattice non-linearities (e.g. Landau octupoles) and beam-beam interactions. The tune footprints of PACMAN bunches are computed in parallel on a remote server, based on tracking with MAD-X. The footprints are then displayed online in the LHC control room.
