Strategic Accelerator Design

SAD

SAD is a computer program complex for accelerator design. It has been developed in KEK since 1986. The major functions are shown below but more and more functions are being added. SAD has proven to be powerful and useful in designs, simulations, commissioning, and improvement of TRISTAN, KEKB, FFTB, ATF, JLC, NLC, ILC, JHF, J-PARC and others.
