ICFA Beam Dynamics Mini Workshop on Modern Optimization of Dynamic Aperture

19 Oct 2026, 09:00 → 23 Oct 2026, 17:00 US/Eastern

Bldg. 401 Physical Sciences (Cornell University)

Christoph Montag (BNL), Georg Hoffstaetter (Cornell)

This workshop will be the first of it's kind, originating from a current need of DA optimization at several accelerator projects, including the EIC, FCC-ee, light sources, and more.  It will be the first occasion to discuss the latest developments in state-of-the-art DA optimization that has been held in many years.  Latest theoretical and experimental developments are of high relevance for Brookhaven's next collider project, the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), to reach it's required performance in any of it's rings, the HSR, the ESR, the RCS, and possibly the REC.  Furthermore, the workshop program will include discussion of studies towards the Future Circular Collider (FCC) planned at CERN, and of several light sources, including an upgrade to BNL's NSLS.  In person discussion and presentation related to recent theoretical, computational and experimental advances as well as discovered challenges will provide important input to the development of all these accelerators.
