  The GLC algorithm allows the construction of efficient transfer lines with defined imaging properties using a minimum number of quadrupole elements. This work describes a generalization of this algorithm to make it applicable to the use of arbitrary beam optical elements. This includes an extension to longitudinal phase space.

  First investigations on Gabor Lens GL2000 at Goethe University have shown that it is possible to confine a 2m long stable Electron Plasma Column and to apply it as a hadron beam focusing device. With this knowledge theoretical implementations of GLs in final focus and transfer lines have started. The focusing with GLs is a weak but smooth focusing in radial direction. The GL is a suitable and inexpensive choice in addition to the existing focusing elements eg. magnetic quadrupoles. The device helps to improve beam quality and minimize losses over long distances. The investigation of relativistic hadron beams in GeV range using the example of the proposed NA61/SHINE VLE-beamline at CERN is carried out and will be presented. Thin-matrix simulations with a generated distribution as well as field map simulations with generated and realistic distributions (Geant4) at 1 - 6 GeV/c have been analysed and compared. In addition, the H4-beamline at North Area (CERN) is proposed to implement GLs for experimental tests.

  Due to the complexity of GSI’s accelerator facilities and it’s upcoming expansion FAIR, various methods for optimizing accelerator settings are currently being studied to increase efficiency and to minimize the need for manual intervention. Besides a necessary improvement of the accelerator models, a better reproducibility of settings and the development of feedback systems, also heuristic methods are in the focus of the investigation. This work presents the results, recently achieved in optimizing the transfer line from UNILAC to SIS18 using the Autotune algorithm.

  Contemporary design of efficient linear accelerator is based on ideal periodical structures with an optimi-sation for perfect periodicity. However, practical reali-sation involves random errors in the structure (e.g. position of elements, off-sets, non-linearity of the fields etc.) which make prediction of emittance growth difficult. Error studies helps to understand critical points, but they are normally used at the end of the design process. The concept of beam entropy in very simple approximation (assumption of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model) is used to evaluate emittance growth in perfect periodical chains. The analysis will be performed and differences in modern designs on some examples discussed. Focus will be laid on linac designs with short acceleration structures (RF-phase settings versus position error) and external transversal focusing magnets.
