Lattice Summaries - lattice files

This repository is used to manage the lattices shown on the lattice-summaries website. Every time a new lattice file is pushed to this repository, it automatically gets converted into serval lattice file formats. The resulting lattice files are stored on the generated branch. The orignal lattice file is stored in the originals folder on the main branch.

Convert and publish lattice files (maintainers only)

The lattices are converted using the LatticeJSON package. To convert all lattice files into the different formats run: (requires Python 3.8+ and Poetry)

poetry install
poetry run doit

The resulting lattices files are saved to the generated folder and can be published by pushing this folder to the generated branch.

Add a new Lattice

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Create a new branch (e.g. goslawski/add-mls2-lattice)
  3. Check if your lattice file meets all the requirements. (see lattice file requirements)
  4. Add your lattice file to the originals/<namespace> folder. (see naming scheme)
  5. Add an entry in the info.toml file. (see below)
  6. Commit your changes to your new branch.
    • The commit summary should be add goslawski/mls2_<family>_v_<version> for a newly added lattice.
    • The commit summary should be update goslawski/mls2_<family>_v_<version> in case a lattice file is updated.
  7. Push your branch and create a pull request.
    • All pull request must be reviewed by someone else before merged.
    • All pull request must be squash merged.

info.toml

Meta information on the lattices is listed in the info.toml file. If you add a new lattice to this repo don't forget to add an entry to this file:

# example entry

[[lattices]]
namespace = "goslawski"
name = "mls2_scaled-from-bessy2_v_1"
machine = "mls2"
title = "mls2 based on bessy2"
authors = ["Goslawski", "Max Mustermann"]
energy = 1200
simulations = ["apace", "elegant", "madx"]
labels = []
description = """
A possible design lattice for the MLS2 based on a scaled down version of BESSY 2
"""

Most of the attributes should be self-explanatory. A list of available labels is listed below:

Lattice file requirements

Problem

To leverage multiple simulation tools we have to convert lattice files into different formats. As these lattice file formats can contain tool-specific elements/attributes (and somethings are turing-complete scripting languages), a 1:1 translation between the different lattice file formats is not always possible.

Solution

We agree on a restricted set of generic elements, which should be available in every simulation software and define a 1:1 mapping between these generic elements and the different lattice file formats. We should also avoid simulation-specific attributes (e.g. nkicks), which should be included in the run files. Control-flow like if statements or for loops are also not allowed. Only basic variable assigned and basic sequence manipulation (reflection and repetition) is permissiable. A detailed specification of allowed elements/attributes can be found below.

Naming Scheme

Information like the energy, periodicity, number of bends per cell and other details (e.g. longitudinal gradients bend) which characterize a lattice will be included in the info.toml file, so it is not necessary that they are present in the filename.

As we want to distribute the lattice files over the web we have restrict us to the unreserved URL characters A-Za-z0-9.~-_.

Schema

The naming schema of a lattice file is given by:

<namespace> / <machine>_<familiy>_v_<version>

A name is built up out of different <identifiers> which are separated by a _. Allowed characters within an <identifier> are therefore A-Za-z0-9.~-.

⚠️ Note that _ is not allowed!

Explanation of different <identifiers>

  • <namespace> is a subfolder, which prevents naming conflicts in case people come up with the same lattice file name. All contributors of lattice-summaries repo will have their own namespace and have to make sure that all <family> names are unique within their namespace. Note that the <namespace> can be different from the author(s) of a lattice. The actual author(s) of a lattice are listed in info.toml file and are also included as comment at the top of automatically generated lattice files. I decided it this way, because we may want to include lattices from other facilities. If Paul would upload the SLS2 lattice, the name would be something like goslawski / sls2_design_v_std-user even though Paul is not the author of the SLS2 lattice. The same would be true for a LOCO-measured BESSY II lattice file. In case a lattice <family> is maintained by multiple people an acronym like gaa for Goslawski, Abo-Bakr and Andreas would also be fine.
  • <machine> Name of the machine (e.g. bessy2, bessy3, mls, mls2)
  • <familiy> The goal of a <family> identifier is to make different versions of a lattice easier to compare on the lattice-summaries website. The name of the lattice family must be unique within YOUR <namespace>. Lattices within a family should belong logically together. For example Paul created several MLS2 lattices based on a scaled down version of BESSY II. In this case the family name should be something like scaled-bessy2. As during the B3 development presumably many lattices will be called 5ba-20p, you could also choose a more memorable name like jupiter, bravo or falcon, which will make it easy to refer to a specific lattice during discussions.
  • <version> The version name uniquely identifies a lattice within a <family>. It can be a simple number like 1 or 2 or a more descriptive name like std-user, low-alpha or reference. To please Paul it is also possible to use something like 1200mev-8p-2ba-new-wp-x909125-y909125.

Recommendations

Even there are no technical limitation, I would recommend to stick with lowercase characters and avoid using the ~ and . characters. This will make it easier on the command line and also provides some consistency. There recommended character to use are therefore a-z0-9-.
