Title: 6-D phase space tracking with acceleration: Modeling low energy proton synchrotrons (I)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5319297

Booster synchrotrons for high energy colliders and small proton synchrotrons mostly operate within the low-energy'' range from few 10 MeV up to about 10 GeV. A simulation code of both single- and multi-particle tracking has been developed especially for such machines. For the first time this code allows investigation of beam dynamics issues such as: (1) acceleration and synchrotron oscillations in fully 6-D phase space (2) transverse and longitudinal space-charge effects in 3-D real space, and (3) capture and bunching at injection and transition crossing with harmonic rf cavities. This paper describes the single-particle part of the code and presents some results on the Low Energy Booster (LEB) of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC).
