I exchanged email with Nicole, and suggest we approve her request for 50K in Q3.

To date, a full 3D models of the beam lines has not been simulated. Using OPAL-T and the parallel capabilities of Blues, we seek better agreement between simulations and experiment by accounting for 3D effects, space charge, coherent synchrotron radiation, and wakefields. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Requested: 50000 A specific reason has been given: Visiting the developers of the beam dynamics simulation code OPAL-T at PSI from May 22nd - May 26th. The goal is to test and run their genetic algorithm code to perform a multi-objective optimization of the AWA beam line. This will require an estimated 5k core-hours per optimization run. We would like to run a few tests while at PSI and several more after returning to ANL in order to prepare results for a paper. This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon.
