The research program at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Beam Test Facility (BTF) focuses on improving accelerator model accuracy. This study explores the effect of two different models of permanent magnet quadrupoles, which comprise a 9.5-cell FODO line in the BTF. The more realistic model includes all higher-order terms, while the simple, in use model, is a perfect quadrupole. Particular attention is paid to high-amplitude particles to understand how the choice of quadrupole model will affect beam halo distributions. In this paper, we compare particle tracking through a FODO line that contains only linear terms - a perfect quadrupole model - to a full 3D model.

  Hadron beams develop intensity-dependent transverse-longitudinal correlations within radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerating structures. These correlations are only visible in six-dimensional phase space and are destroyed by reconstructions from low-dimensional projections. In this work, we estimate the effect of artificial decorrelation on the beam dynamics in the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac and Beam Test Facility (BTF). We show that the evolution of a realistic initial distribution and its decorrelated twin converge during the early acceleration stages; thus, low-dimensional projections are probably sufficient for detailed predictions in high-power linacs.

At this moment, the Spallation Neutron Source linac accelerates H⁻ ions to 1.05 GeV before they injected into the ring. The beam power on the target is 1.7 MW. The linac includes three main parts - a front-end with ion source, RFQ, and Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section; a normal temperature linac with Drift Tube Linac (DTL) and Coupled Cavities Linac (CCL); and superconducting linac (SCL). The linac has been in operation since it was commissioned in 2005. This talk discusses the results of beam dynamics studies, existing diagnostic devices, simulation codes and models used in analysis, development and results of linac tuning procedures, and beam loss reduction efforts performed at the SNS linac for 18 years. Considerations about future beam physics experiments and simulations software improvements are presented.

  The design of the ESS proton linac was supported by the simulation code TraceWin, a closed-source commercial software for accurate multiparticle simulations. Conversely, the high-level physics applications used for beam commissioning and machine tuning rely on the Open XAL framework and its online model for fast envelope simulations. In this paper, we evaluate PyORBIT for both online modeling of the linac for machine commissioning and tuning as well as for more accurate offline simulations for beam-dynamics studies. We present the modifications done to the code to adapt it to this use case, namely porting the code to Python 3, adding an envelope tracker, and integrating with the EPICS control systems. Finally, we show the results of benchmarking PyORBIT against our current modeling tools.
