Beamline Simulator v1.3c is an easy to use charged particle optics program (Win 95/98/NT). Operators of particle accelerators, experimentalists, students, or any other person who adjusts beamline settings to improve beam characteristics on target will find this program useful. In particular, the program's real-time dynamic tuning capability gives one the feel of tuning a beamline live from a control room. This program saves time developing new tunes, is useful for training, and can also be used for first order beamline design work.
Our Review: Very comprehensive piece of software. The user can set an abundance of different constraints such as tolerance levels and there's even a matrix calculator built in. Unfortunately, the help file comes in a Word 97 document and is only available as a separate download from http://www.dehnel.com/. You will need to grab this to use BeamLine Simulator. A poor installation also makes this a pretty raw piece of software for experts only.
