Toolkit for Simulated Commissioning (SC)

We present the Toolkit for Simulated Commissioning (SC), which allows for realistic commissioning simulations of storage ring light sources by taking into account a multitude of error sources as well as diligently treating beam diagnostic limitations. Please have a look at the manual for more details, including a simplified usage example. The complete correction chain as used for the ALS-U Accumulator Ring including all files and error defenitions can be found here.

SC uses the Matlab-based Accelerator Toolbox (AT), which can be downloaded here. The relevant files to use loco can be downloaded from the Matlab Middle Layer (MML) distribution.
