Abstract
- This paper describes a recent effort to develop and benchmark a simulation tool for the analysis of radio frequency (RF) transients and their compensation in an H-linear accelerator. Existing tools in this area either focus on electron linear accelerators (LINACs) or lack fundamental details about the low level radio frequency system that are necessary to provide realistic performance estimates. In this paper, we begin with a discussion of our computational models followed by benchmarking with existing beam-dynamics codes and measured data. We then analyze the effect of RF transients and their compensation in the Proton Improvement Plan-II LINAC, followed by an analysis of calibration errors and how Newton’s method-based feedback scheme can be used to regulate the beam energy to within the specified limits.
