abstract = {{Validated particle in cell (PIC) simulations of the DARHT Axis 1 injector have the potential to reduce accelerator downtime, assist experimental data analysis and improve accelerator tunes. To realize these benefits, the simulations must be validated with experimental results. In this work, the particle in cell code Chicago is used to simulate the injector region of the dual-axis radiographic hydrodynamic test facility (DARHT) first axis. These simulations are validated against experiment using measured anode-cathode voltage, beam current at three positions, optical transition radiation and previously calculated emittance. Since all of these measurements contain some variation, the respective simulation parameters are varied to understand their effect. The resulting simulated beam current distributions can then be compared to the measured 2RMS radius. This resulted in a reasonably well validated simulation model. Some inconstancy between simulated and measured results still exists, which future work will address.}},
