	Funding: This work is supported by the US DOE Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, including grant No. DE-SC0000844. A solenoid-based low-energy beam transport (LEBT) test stand is under development for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). To support commissioning of the test stand, the parallel Vorpal framework is being used for 3D electrostatic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of H⁻ beam dynamics in the LEBT, including impact ionization physics and MHz chopping of the partially-neutralized \Hm beam. Here we describe the process of creating a partially-neutralized beam and examine the effects of a single chopping event on the beam's emittance.

	High-intensity proton linacs and storage rings are essential for a) state-of-the-art neutron source user facilities, b) extending the high-energy physics intensity frontier, c) as a driver to generate pions for a future neutrino factory or muon collider, and d) for transmutation of radioactive waste and associated energy production. For example, Project X at Fermilab will deliver MW proton beams at energies ranging from 3 to 120 GeV. Nonlinear magnetic lattices with large tune spreads and with integrable, nearly integrable* and chaotic* dynamics have been proposed to maximize dynamic aperture and minimize particle loss.

High-intensity proton linacs and storage rings are essential for a) state-of-the-art neutron source user facilities, b) extending the high-energy physics intensity frontier, c) as a driver to generate pions for a future neutrino factory or muon collider, and d) for transmutation of radioactive waste and associated energy production. For example, Project X at Fermilab will deliver MW proton beams at energies ranging from 3 to 120 GeV. Nonlinear magnetic lattices with large tune spreads and with integrable*, nearly integrable** and chaotic* dynamics have been proposed to maximize dynamic aperture and minimize particle loss. We present PyORBIT*** simulations of proton dynamics in such lattices, including the effects of transverse space charge.
