/ Olivares Herrador, Javier (CERN ; Valencia U., IFIC) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN) ; Gimeno-Martinez, Benito (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Esperante Pereira, Daniel (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Fuster-Martinez, Nuria (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Zhao, Yongke (CERN)
The beam loading effect results in a gradient reduction of accelerating structures due to the excitation of the fundamental mode when the beam travels through the cavity. A recent implementation of this process in the tracking code RF-Track allows the simulation of realistic scenarios, thus revealing the impact of this phenomenon in start-to-end accelerator designs.

Implementation of the beam-loading effect in the tracking code RF-track based on a power-diffusive model
/ Olivares Herrador, Javier (CERN ; Valencia U., IFIC) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN) ; Aksoy, Avni (CERN ; Ankara U.) ; Fuster Martínez, Nuria (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Gimeno, Benito (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Esperante, Daniel (Valencia U., IFIC ; U. Sevilla, Dept. Electron. Eng.)
The need to achieve high energies in particle accelerators is leading to the development of new accelerator technologies, resulting in higher beam intensities and more compact devices with stronger accelerating fields. In such scenarios, Beam Loading effects occur and a intensitydependent gradient reduction affects the accelerated beam as a consequence of its interaction with the surrounding cavity. [...]

Beam Loading Simulation for Relativistic and Ultrarelativistic Beams in the Tracking Code RF-Track
/ Olivares Herrador, Javier (CERN ; Valencia U., IFIC) ; Esperante Pereira, Daniel (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Fuster, Nuria (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Gimeno, Benito (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN)
Medical and industrial electron linacs can benefit from the X-band accelerating technology developed for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) at CERN. However, when high-intensity beams are injected in such high-gradient structures (>35 MV/m), the beam loading effect must be considered by design since this beam-cavity interaction can result in a considerable gradient reduction with respect to the unloaded case. [...]

A start-to-end optimisation of CLEAR for an inverse Compton scattering experiment, using RF-Track
/ Musat, Vlad (CERN ; JAI, UK) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN) ; Malyzhenkov, Alexander (CERN) ; Aksoy, Avni (CERN)
The CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research (CLEAR) has been operating since 2017 as a user facility providing beams for various experiments. We created a start-to-end model of the CLEAR setup in RF-Track, aiming to optimise the CLEAR accelerator as a driver for an X-ray source based on inverse-Compton scattering. [...]

Start-to-End Beam Dynamic Simulations for PRAE

The PRAE project (Platform for Research and Applications with Electrons) aims at creating a multidisciplinary R&D; facility in the Orsay campus gathering various scientific communities involved in radiobiology, subatomic physics, instrumentation and particle accelerators around an electron accelerator delivering a high-performance beam with energy up to 70 MeV and later 140 MeV, in order to perform a series of unique measurements and future challenging R&D.; In this paper we report the first start-to-end simulations from the RF gun, going through the linac and finally to the different experimental platforms. The beam dynamics simulations have been performed using a concatenation of codes. [...]

Update of the RF-Track particle tracking code
/ Latina, A (CERN) ; Malyzhenkov, A (CERN) ; Olivares-Herrador, J (CERN ; Valencia U.) ; Aksoy, A (Ankara U. ; CERN)
The tracking code RF-Track has been updated to include a large set of single-particle and collective effects: beam loading in standing and travelling wave structures, coherent and incoherent synchrotron radiation, intra-beam scattering, multiple Coulomb scattering in materials, and particle lifetime. This new set of effects was focused on the simulation of high-intensity machines such as linacs for medical applications. [...]

The Tracking Code RF-Track and Its Application
/ Latina, Andrea (CERN)
RF-Track is a CERN-developed particle tracking code that can simulate the generation, acceleration, and tracking of beams of any species through an entire accelerator, both in realistic field maps and conventional elements. RF-Track includes a large set of single-particle and collective effects: space-charge, beam-beam, beam loading in standing and travelling wave structures, short- and long-range wakefield effects, synchrotron radiation emission, multiple Coulomb scattering in materials, and particle lifetime.

Benchmarking of PATH and RF-Track in the Simulation of Linac4
/ Bellodi, Giulia ; Lallement, Jean-Baptiste ; Latina, Andrea ; Lombardi, Alessandra
A benchmarking campaign has been initiated to compare PATH and RF-Track in modelling high-intensity, low-energy hadron beams. The development of extra functionalities in RF-Track was required to handle an unbunched beam from the source and to ease the user interface. [...]

For the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee), particular attention is drowned to the crucial role of the positron source. Two positron production schemes are considered for the FCC-ee: conventional and crystal-based (hybrid), implying the use of channeling radiation in the oriented crystals. [...]

Update of the Tracking Code RF-Track
/ Latina, Andrea (CERN)
During the last couple of years, the RF-Track particle tracking code has seen a tremendous increase in the number of its applications: medical linacs, compact injector electron guns, and positron sources are among the main ones. Following a work of consolidation of its internal structure, new simulation capabilities have been introduced, together with several new effects: arbitrary orientation of elements in space, full element overlap, short- and long-range wakefields, and laser-beam interaction through Compton scattering are the most significant ones.
