Title: Magnet optical and beam matching issues in SNS MEBT

Conference ·
OSTI ID:986796

A Medium-Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line is employed in the SNS linac. The MEBT lattice consists of fourteen electromagnetic quadrupoles and other devices. The quads have very small aspect ratios, and they are densely packed. Significant fringe fields and magnetic interference cause difficulties in beam matching. We have performed 3D simulations of the magnets, computed their optical properties, and compared their performance with what predicted by simple hard edge models. This paper reports our findings and a general solution to the problem.
