Benchmarking Track against Parmela and Astra in the Design of the Triumf E-linac
نویسنده
چکیده
The TRIUMF ARIEL project plans to build a 50 MeV electron linac at 10 mA to produce radioactive ion beams through photo-fission. Beam dynamics studies of the accelerator are on-going. The TRACK code originally written to simulate proton and heavy ion linacs has been used in e-linac modelling studies. This paper will summarize the TRACK simulation studies and the simulation results will be compared with other codes like PARMELA and ASTRA.

The rf control system for the 1.3 GHz TRIUMF e-linac elliptical superconducting cavities is a hybrid analogue/digital design. It is based in part on an earlier design developed for the 1/4 wave superconducting cavities of the ISACII linac. This design has undergone several iterations in the course of its development. In the current design, down-conversion to an intermediate frequency of 138MHz ...
