  The European Spallation Source, to be built in Lund, Sweden, will be based on a superconducting proton linac. Top-level linac parameters of 2.5 GeV energy, 50 mA pulse current, 14 Hz pulse repetition rate and 2.86 ms pulse length result in 5 MW average beam power and 125 MW peak power. General challenges for the accelerator design and construction range from minimizing beam losses to prototyping, manufacturing and installing the large quantity of RF power soures. The presentation will give an overview of the ESS project and give specific examples of computational challenges related to the beam dynamics of the linac.

Developing beam dynamics simulation tools using the moment method has advantages in terms of precision and efficiency when interests lie in average or rms dimensions of the beam, projected emittances or total energy. The moment method implemented in the V-Code solves the Vlasov equation by time integration, from an initial particle distribution represented by a discrete set of characteristic moments, accounting for all acting internal and external forces along the particle's path. The moment method delivers highly accurate beam dynamics results within a very small CPU time. This article proposes, illustrates and validates a new beam line element for a radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) for insertion in the V-Code. The focus will be on the RFQ cell structure, the electric field distribution and the insertion of the field distribution in the moment code.
