| Abstract |
In order to facilitate studies of how dynamically changing element attributes affect the dynamics of the beam and beam losses, the functionality for dynamic kicks (DYNK) of SixTrack has been significantly extended. This functionality can be used for the simulation of dynamic scenarios, such as when crab cavities are switched on, orbit bumps are applied, optics are changed, or failures occur. The functionality has been extended with a more general and flexible implementation, such that arbitrary time-dependent functions can be defined and applied to different attributes of families or individual elements, directly from the user input files. This removes the need for source code manipulation, and it is compatible with LHC@Home which offers substantial computing resources from volunteers. In this paper, the functionality and implementation of DYNK is discussed, along with examples of application to the HL-LHC crab cavities.
