WISE: An Adaptative Simulation of the LHC Optics

The beam dynamics in LHC requires a tight control of the field quality and geometry of the magnets. As the production advances, decisions have to be made on the acceptance of possible imperfections. To ease decision making, an adaptative model of the LHC optics has been built, based on the information available on the day (e.g. magnetic measurements at warm or cold, magnet allocation to machine slots) as well as on statistical evaluations for the missing information (e.g. magnets yet to be built, measured, or for non-allocated slots). The uncertainties are included: relative and absolute measurement errors, warm-to-cold correlations for the fraction of magnets not measured at cold, hysteresis and power supply accuracy. The pre-processor WISE generates instances of the LHC field errors for the MAD-X program, with the possibility of selecting various sources. We present an application to estimate the expected beta-beating.
