Phase and Radial Motion in Ion Linear Accelerators
Abstract
Parmila is an ion-linac particle-dynamics code. The name comes from the phrase, "Phase and Radial Motion in Ion Linear Accelerators." The code generates DTL, CCDTL, and CCL accelerating cells and, using a "drift-kick" method, transforms the beam, represented by a collection of particles, through the linac. The code includes a 2-D and 3-D space-charge calculations. Parmila uses data generated by the Poisson Superfish postprocessor SEC. This version of Parmila was written by Harunori Takeda and was supported through Feb. 2006 by James H. Billen. Setup installs executable programs Parmila.EXE, Lingraf.EXE, and ReadPMI.EXE in the LANL directory. The directory LANL\Examples\Parmila contains several subdirectories with sample files for Parmila.

This is a tutorial overview of the PARMILA drift-tube linac beam-dynamics code. First discussed are what PARMILA is and what it is used for. Its origins are discussed. What PARMILA does and how it does its tasks are described. One of the major uses of PARMILA is for the evaluation of effects produced by errors in construction and deviations from design operating conditions. In this connection, a few words are said about what errors PARMILA is able to handle. A section on user friendliness is followed by a few words on the code's accuracy. Finally, some options and improvements aremore »

Linear Theory of Accelerators. Part I. Linear Equations of the Motion and Attenuation Coefficient of Betatron Oscillations in the Case of Weak Focusing. Note No. 155; TEORIA LINEARE DELLE MACCHINE ACCELERATRICI. PARTE I. EQUAZIONI LINEARI DEL MOTO E COEFFICIENTI DE SMORZAMENTO DELLE OSCILLAZIONI DI BETATRONE NEL CASO DI FOCHEGGIAMENTO DEBOLE
A study is made to compile and express in a unitary manner the linear theory (Gauss approximation) of the motion of relativistic particles in accelerators. The results that can be deduced from this theory are reported. The linearized equations of motion are derived. The matrix of vertical oscillations and the matrix of horizontal oscillations in the case of weak focusing are determined. (J.S.R.)
