We have used four types of codes to aid in the design of injectors for our high-current linacs. The typical procedure begins with the electrostatic field code JASON to find a geometry with acceptable field stresses. Next, the 2-D electromagnetic PIC code MAGIC is used to study the addition of voltage waves from the input feeds, and the resulting beam generation and dynamics in a space-charge-limited diode. Then, the 2-D trajectory code TRAJ is used for parameter and optimization studies. Finally, in some cases 3-D effects may be examined with the PIC code QUICKSILVER. 10 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs.
