Intrabeam Scattering Studies for the ILC Damping Rings Using a New MATLAB Code

Abstract

A new code to calculate the effects of intrabeam scattering (IBS) has been developed in MATLAB based on the approximation suggested by K. Bane. It interfaces with the Accelerator Toolbox but can also read in lattice functions from other codes. The code has been benchmarked against results from other codes for the ATF that use this approximation or do the calculation in a different way. The new code has been used to calculate the emittance growth due to intrabeam scattering for the lattices currently proposed for the ILC Damping Rings, as IBS is a concern, especially for the electron ring. A description of the code and its user interface, as well as results for the Damping Rings, will be presented.
