COMBI (COherent Multibunch Beam-beam Interactions)

Short description

COMBI stands for COherent Multibunch Beam-beam Interaction. The code simulates interactions of two counter rotating beams. Several “actions” can be included in the simulation: linear transport, head-on and long-range beam-beam interactions, noise sources, collimators, impedances, linear detuning, transverse feedback, synctrotron radiation.
