Abstract

The Los Alamos Accelerator Theory and Simulation Group (AT-6) maintains and distributes a standard version of the Poisson-Group codes (LATTICE, AUTOMESH, TEKPLOT, POISSON, PANDIRA, MIRT, FORCE, SUPERFISH, and SF01). These codes are the product of man-decades of development under the guidance of R. F. Holsinger and K. Halbach. The main applications are in the design of electromagnets (POISSON and PANDIRA) and rf cavities (SUPERFISH). Other applications include electrostatics, heat transport, and finding mathematical surfaces of minimum area. With special financial support from DOE-HEP, we have revised and corrected the standard version and are writing a comprehensive manual containing many examples and a summary of the theory behind the codes. This paper will illustrate some of the capabilities of the codes and will summarize the manual. The revised codes are available upon request.
