| This work presents a design study of a 200 MeV electron linear accelerator consisting of an electron gun, bunchers, and accelerator structures. We aimed to design the linac with low emittance and low energy spread. A coasting beam from a thermionic electron gun is bunched using a series of buncher cavities: sub-harmonic buncher (SHB), a pre-buncher (PB), and a Buncher. The bunched beam is then accelerated up to 200 MeV with 4 cascaded accelerating structures. The SHB was designed with one-cell standing wave structure for improving the bunching efficiency. The two types of the 500 MHz SHB were considered: elliptical and coupled-cavity linac types. We also investigated constant-gradient and constant-impedance types of 3 GHz multi-cell traveling wave resonators for following buncher cavities and accelerating structures. Depending on the type, geometries of each traveling wave structure (TWS) cavity were determined, and then the electromagnetic fields were calculated. RF powers and phases of each cavity along this linac system were optimized using beam dynamics simulation. Furthermore, the beam distributions in the transverse direction are adjusted using solenoid magnets in the lowenergy section as well as quad triplets in the high-energy section. | ||

| MOPOTK023 | Beam Dynamics Studies on the 50 MeV Electron Linear Accelerator for Ultra-High Dose Rates | 489 |

|
Electron beams with ultra-high dose rates (>40 Gy/s), which enable effective radiotherapy to act on deep-seated tumors in less than a second, can be generated by linear accelerators. To successfully achieve FLASH radiotherapy, we have performed the 50 MeV linear accelerator design studies. The designed electron accelerator consists of a thermionic electron gun, sub-harmonic buncher, buncher and 2.856 GHz traveling wave structure. In this report the design layout and particle tracking simulation results of the 50 MeV electron linac with high beam current are presented in detail.

| MOPOTK059 | Implementation of the Vico-Greengard-Ferrando Poisson Solver in Synergia2 | 600 |
|
||
| Computation of space charge fields in accelerator simulations is one of the most challenging tasks. The algorithm proposed by Hockney and Eastwood is the fastest method for numerically solving Poisson equations with open boundaries and has been implemented in various accelerator simulation codes. Recently, Vico-Greengard-Ferrando proposed a new hybrid fast algorithm for computing volume potentials. The new algorithm is promising higher accuracy and faster error convergence than that of Hockney-Eastwood. This study presents the implementation of the Vico-Greengard-Ferrando solver in Synergia and shows a comparison of results with these Poisson solvers. | ||
