Survey of existing source simulation services and databanks

[CFGrote]

Collect and review the existing source simulation data services. Examples:

• XFEL pulse database XPD, web-interface: https://in.xfel.eu/xpd

• Various source simulation tools in Oasys

• Sources in Sirepo: https://beta.sirepo.com/light#/light-sources https://beta.sirepo.com/light#/calculator https://beta.sirepo.com/#/jupyter

Select at least one service for FEL (hard, soft x-ray, polarization control, 3rd harmonic), SR (wigglers, bending magnets, undulators), neutrons to be interfaced from within vinyl

In neutron scattering source simulation is traditionally quite separate from beam line simulations, often requiring codes that are restricted to users with some security clearance. In beam line simulations we use accurate descriptions of the source output or beam dumps. The descriptions are included in the simulation codes. The beam dumps could be saved in the same system as the beam database, this would avoid having two databases for nearly the same purpose.
