Abstract

CTF3 is a test facility for a new CLIC high energy linear collider. For this beamsteering and beam focusing is vital. Because physically running a beamline and changingsetup is expensive and takes much effort it is beneficial to use a simulator for thebeamline. The transportation of the beam through the beamline can be representedwith matrix multiplications and for this reason MATLAB is a fitting environment tosimulate in. A Flight Path Simulator was written in MATLAB and was succefullyimplemented and tested for the CALIFES beamline of the two-beam test stand that ispart of the CTF3 facility.
