OPAL

OPAL (Object Oriented Parallel Accelerator Library) is a parallel open source software package for simulating charged-particle optics in linear accelerators and rings, including 3D space charge. OPAL is written in the MAD language and can run on a variety of computer sizes, from a laptop to a supercomputer. The Sirepo/OPAL application is well-suited to modeling electron guns, beamlines, and linacs with space charge, wake fields, and coherent synchrotron radiation.
