LAURA: Lattice Architecture for a Unified Representation of Accelerators

LAURA (Lattice Architecture for a Unified Representation of Accelerators) is a python package for handling particle accelerator lattice data.

This package provides a standardized interface for interacting with objects representing elements in an accelerator lattice. The intention is to collate as much information as possible about each element, in order to achieve the following goals:

• Representing a ground source of truth about a given particle accelerator lattice.

• Providing a basis for producing configurable simulation lattice files for a range of codes.

• Store auxiliary data – mechanical, survey, electrical, for example.

• Provide a basic interface to the controls system for each element.
