TI - MAD-X for Future Accelerators J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - The development of MAD-X was started more than 20 years ago and it still remains the main tool for single particle dynamics for both optics design, error studies as well as for operational model-based software at CERN. In this article, we outline some of the recent development of MAD-X and plans for the future. In particular, we focus on the development of the twiss module used to calculate optics functions in MAD-X which is based on first and second order matrices. These have traditionally been calculated as an expansion around the ideal orbit. In this paper, we describe explicitly how an expansion around the closed orbit can be employed instead, in order to get more precise results. We also describe the latest development of the beam-beam long range wire compensator in MAD-X, an element that has been implemented using the aforementioned approach.
