The LCLS-II beam injector system consists of a 186 MHz normal-conducting RF gun, a two-cell 1.3 GHz normal-conducting buncher cavity, two transverse focusing solenoids, and eight 1.3 GHz 9-cell Tesla-like super-conducting booster cavities. With a coordinated effort between LBNL and SLAC, we have developed a simulation workflow combining the electromagnetic field solvers from ACE3P with the beam dynamics modeling code IMPACT. This workflow will be used to improve performance and minimize beam emittance for given accelerator structures through iterative optimization. In our current study, we use this workflow to compare beam quality parameters between using 2D axisymmetric field profiles and fully 3D non-axisymmetric fields caused by geometrical asymmetries (e.g. RF coupler ports).

This paper presents an integrated simulation capability for accelerators including electromagnetic field and beam dynamics effects. The integrated codes include the parallel finite-element code suite ACE3P for electromagnetic field calculation of beamline components, the parallel particle-in-cell (PIC) code IMPACT for beamline particle tracking with space-charge effects, and the parallel self-consistent PIC code Warp for beam and plasma simulations. The common data format OpenPMD has been adopted for efficient field and particle I/O data transfer between codes. One application is to employ ACE3P and IMPACT for studying beam qualities in accelerator beamlines. Another is to combine ACE3P and Warp for investigating plasma processing for operational performance of RF cavities. A module for mapping the CAD geometry used in ACE3P to Warp Cartesian grid representation has been developed. Furthermore, a workflow has been implemented that enables the execution of integrated simulation on HPC systems. Examples for simulation of the LCLS-II injector using ACE3P-IMPACT and plasma ignition in SRF cavities using ACE3P-Warp will be presented.

SLAC’s ACE3P code suite is developed to harness the power of massively parallel computers to tackle large complex problems with increased memory and solve them at greater speed. ACE3P parallel multi-physics codes are based on higher-order finite elements for superior geometry fidelity and better solution accuracy. ACE3P consists of an integrated set of electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical solvers for accelerator modeling and virtual prototyping. The use of ACE3P has contributed to the design and optimization of existing and future accelerator projects around the world. Multi-physics analysis on high performance computing (HPC) platform enables thermal-mechanical simulations of largescale systems such as the LCLS-II cryomodule. Recently, new capabilities have been added to ACE3P including a nonlinear eigenvalue solver for calculating mode damping, a moving window for pulse propagation in the time domain to reduce computational cost, thin layer coating representation using a surface impedance model, and improved boundary conditions using perfectly matched layers (PML) to terminate wave propagation. These new developments are presented in this paper.
