  The ISIS neutron spallation source is a pioneering research infrastructure in the field of high intensity accelerator physics, catering to scientific users. Comprising a 70 MeV injector linac and an 800 MeV Rapid cycling synchrotron with two beam targets, this facility has witnessed significant upgrades in recent years, leading to enhanced transmission efficiency. Further optimization efforts are underway to ensure continuous improvement. This article focuses on beam physics simulation studies conducted on the current ISIS linac, aiming to gain a deeper understanding and analysis of various phenomena observed during routine operations and accelerator physics experimentation. By examining these phenomena, valuable insights can be obtained to inform the future development of high efficiency injector of ISIS-II.

  The transmission efficiency and beam dynamic parameters of the low-energy beam transfer (LEBT) section of proton accelerators, serving as a neutron spallation source, have a critical impact on beam loss in subsequent sections of the linear accelerator. Due to variations and mismatches, the beam parameters at the entrance of the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) change, significantly affecting the transmission efficiency of the RFQ and the matching between RFQ and drift tube linac (DTL) structures. Recognizing the importance of this concept, particle-in-cell studies were conducted to optimize the LEBT section of the ISIS accelerator. This study presents the results of simulations.
