Improved Teapot Method and Tracking with Thick Quadrupoles for the LHC and its Upgrade

The comparison between tracking with thick and thin lens models for the LHC has been studied. A widely-used method to generate thin models is based on the TEAPOT slicing, which, in the original implementation, was limited to a maximum of four slices.

Sumario:The comparison between tracking with thick and thin lens models for the LHC has been studied. A widely-used method to generate thin models is based on the TEAPOT slicing, which, in the original implementation, was limited to a maximum of four slices. In this paper, an improved method is presented, which overcomes the limitation in the number of slices of the original TEAPOT. The performance is analysed and the impact on numerical simulation of the dynamic aperture is evaluated, both for the LHC and its upgrade, HL-LHC.
